Radioactive Decontamination
Non-contact, waste-minimizing surface decontamination engineered for the nuclear industry. Reduce waste by up to 95%, lower worker dose exposure, and cut project costs by up to 60%.
Remote Decontamination
The laser is integrated onto a robotic arm platform, keeping operators at a safe distance while precision decontamination is performed remotely in high-dose and hard-to-access environments.
How It Works
The laser unit is integrated onto a robotic arm platform, enabling fully remote operation in high-dose and hard-to-access environments. Operators remain at a safe distance while the robotic system performs precision decontamination with controlled movement and repeatable accuracy.
As the robotic arm guides the laser across contaminated concrete or metal surfaces, the system removes the thin contamination layer with high precision. Ablated particles are captured immediately at the point of removal through an integrated HEPA extraction and filtration system, producing a controlled dry waste stream.
The result is significant: waste volumes can be reduced by 80–95% compared to scabbling or chemical methods, worker dose exposure lowered by 30–70%, and project schedules shortened by 30–60% through faster setup, reduced cleanup, and remote operation efficiencies.
Lower radioactive waste packaging, transport and disposal costs
Reduced worker dose from fewer cleanup and handling hours
Minimal secondary waste generation
Less outage critical-path impact
Precision removal with lower rework risk
Why Laser Ablation
Waste Minimization
80–95% less secondary waste. Ablated material captured as dry particulate — no liquid byproducts, no chemical solvents, no wastewater.
Dose Reduction
30–70% lower worker radiation exposure through faster completion times. Remote and robotic deployment for high-dose areas achieves up to 80% reduction.
Precision Control
Non-contact removal with micron-level accuracy. Selectively removes contamination while preserving the integrity of the underlying substrate.
Lifecycle Cost Efficiency
25–60% total project cost savings through dramatically reduced waste disposal volumes, faster schedules, and elimination of chemical consumables.
Remote & Robotic Operation
Deployable on robotic platforms for high-dose environments where human access is limited. Enables decontamination of areas previously requiring full protective measures.
Zero Chemical Waste
Eliminates all chemical solvents, abrasive media, and liquid waste streams. Only dry particulate is generated, simplifying waste handling and disposal.
How It Works
Site Assessment
Characterize contamination type, depth, and substrate material to determine optimal laser parameters.
System Configuration
Configure laser power, pulse frequency, and scan pattern for the specific decontamination requirements.
Laser Ablation
Deploy the laser system — manually or robotically — to precisely remove contaminated surface layers.
Waste Capture
Ablated particulate is captured by integrated filtration. Minimal waste volume ready for standard disposal.
