New Order Points to Growing Adoption of Laser Cleaning Technology in Nuclear Industry
ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 23, 2024 – Laser Photonics Corporation (NASDAQ: LASE) (LPC), a leading global developer of industrial laser systems for cleaning and other material processing applications, announced today that it received an order from the Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS), Nebraska’s largest single-unit generator providing clean and reliable electricity.
“Laser cleaning technology is rapidly gaining ground as a highly effective alternative to hazardous surface preparation methods,” said John Armstrong, Executive Vice President of Laser Photonics. “LPC is serving a growing number of clients in the nuclear energy sector, and we are thrilled that Cooper Nuclear entrusted us in providing its team with innovative laser-powered equipment.”
The CleanTech CR-3010, acquired by CNS, is a commercial-grade handheld continuous wave fiber laser machine for surface preparation. It effectively removes contaminants and coatings off various surfaces during maintenance and production processes, and it has demonstrated its capability to blast off radioactive particles along with unwanted material. Paired with a fume extractor, the system turns into an irreplaceable power tool for the regular maintenance of equipment and infrastructure.
CNS, operated by the Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD), plans to use the CleanTech CR-3010 for paint and rust removal in the pre-weld preparation of valves, pipes and steel plates across plant equipment.
Laser ablation is an eco-friendly surface preparation method for businesses looking to reduce their ecological impact, as it does not involve the use of hazardous consumables and generates minimal secondary waste. LPC technology continues to be adopted in the nuclear industry and others as companies worldwide advance toward their sustainability goals.
