Laser Photonics and Brokk Reveal CleanTech Laser Robot to Cut Nuclear Waste Volumes
Laser Photonics and Brokk showcased a custom-engineered CleanTech laser-cleaning robot for remote nuclear decontamination at the WM Symposia in Phoenix, targeting a major nuclear power plant project. The unit vaporizes surface contaminants through transmutation and integrates fume extraction to cut secondary waste volumes and disposal costs.
1. Symposia Presentation
Laser Photonics attended the Waste Management Symposia in Phoenix alongside Brokk to demonstrate a custom-engineered CleanTech laser-cleaning robot for remote nuclear decontamination, showcasing its potential to automate and enhance safety in decommissioning operations.
2. CleanTech Laser Blaster Technology
The CleanTech system uses laser-driven transmutation to vaporize surface contaminants at the point of treatment, integrates an active fume extraction system and modular capture shroud, and is designed to dramatically reduce secondary waste volumes and disposal costs versus abrasive sandblasting.
3. Collaboration and Client Project
In collaboration with Brokk, Laser Photonics is engineering the next-generation CleanTech unit for a major nuclear power plant client, positioning the technology as a cost-efficient, sustainable alternative for large-scale decontamination and decommissioning programs.
