On September 28th, LD-SAFE was presented in the Spanish Nuclear Society annual event (SNE 2022), focusing on the safety evaluations performed within the project. Thanks to all the participants, and if you did not attend SNE 22, check for LD-SAFE in upcoming events.

The LD-SAFE second General Assembly Meeting took place on October 5th, 2022, at Tecnatom premises. We were delighted to meet in person and have worthwhile presentations and discussions. Thanks to the Group of Experts for their fruitful participation.

LD-Safe project will be presented the 1st of December in the NEA Workshop on Innovative Techniques and Technologies to Support Characterisation and Decommissioning of Complex and Legacy Sites.

LD-SAFE was presented by P. Daguin and I. Doyen in the NEA Workshop on Innovative Techniques and Technologies to Support Characterisation and Decommissioning of Complex and Legacy Sites. Thanks to all the participants. If you did not attend, check for LD-SAFE in upcoming events.

The paper "European collaborative efforts to achieve effective, safe, and cost-controlled dismantling of nuclear facilities" is now available. It summarizes five European projects (INNO4GRAPH, LD-SAFE, PLEIADES, CLEANDEM and INSIDER): epj-n.org/articles/epjn/…

LD-SAFE project was presented by P. Daguin (Onet Technologies), I. Doyen (CEA), and P. François (IRSN) on March 1st in the Waste Management 2023 Conference (Phoenix). Thank you very much to those present, including our EC Project Officer, for their participation.

LD-Safe will be presented the 16th of May 2023 in the International Conference on Nuclear Decommissioning: Addressing the Past and Ensuring the Future, organized by the IAEA, during a special session dedicated to the EURATOM Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme.

The third LD-SAFE press release is now available on the project website: ldsafe.eu/wp-content/upl… Visit ld.safe.eu to learn more about the project progress. #lasercutting #dismantling

The LD-SAFE 3rd General Assembly Meeting took place last week in Paris. We were delighted to meet with the Expert Group and potential users of the laser cutting technology for nuclear reactors decommissioning. Thanks to all participants for their fruitful technical discussions!

The final version of the Generic Safety Assessment is now available in the LD-SAFE website. It includes the recommendations from the independent review performed by the IRSN. It aims to reduce the licensing effort and ease the safety case development for all future end users.

LD-SAFE is making great efforts in disseminating its objectives & achievements. Next step: 👉ICEM 2023 – D/D&D R&D Activities in Stuttgart (Germany) - Oct. 6, 2023 (11:10). Meet us at ICEM to know more about the promising implementation of laser cutting technology in nuclear D&D.

In-air cutting tests (demonstrator) are on-going at HERA Facility (CEA Marcoule), obtaining great technical and safety feedback. Around 100 laser shots (+80 up to now) will be performed from 02/10/23 to 24/11/23. In 2024, underwater tests will be performed at ONET Technocenter.

The guideline for the use of laser cutting in a reactor dismantling environment (D3.5) is now available to the public on the LD-SAFE project website (ldsafe.eu/project-delive…)! It will guide future end users through key aspects of using the promising laser cutting technology.

The End Technical Workshop will be a great opportunity to discuss about the project outcomes, while witnessing an underwater #laser cutting #demonstration. Two sessions will be organized. 🗓️Don’t miss the event, we are awaiting you at Onet Technocenter!

Underwater laser cutting tests are on-going within the demonstrator at Onet Technocenter, obtaining great technical and safety feedback. A demonstration will also be witnessed during the End Technical Workshop (May 30th & 31st). We are awaiting you at Onet Technocenter!

The LD-SAFE Final Technical Workshop was held in May at Onet Technocenter. Main project achievements were presented and an underwater laser cutting demonstration was performed. Thanks to all participants for their fruitful technical exchanges and worthwhile presentations 👏👏

The guideline for the use of laser cutting in a reactor dismantling environment is now publicly available (ldsafe.eu/project-delive…)! The revised version reflects the learnings from in-air & underwater demonstrators, guiding end users through the laser cutting technology safe use.

📢 After four years of great efforts, LD-SAFE presents the most relevant project outcomes in the final project video. The promising laser cutting technology is ready to address the challenges of the dismantling nuclear power reactors. youtube.com/watch?v=_KftL3…

The final LD-SAFE press release is now available, summarizing main project outcomes. Feel free to download it here: ldsafe.eu/wp-content/upl… After 4 years of great efforts, you may find most relevant public deliverables in ldsafe.eu/project-delive…
