Lasermet’s Laser Castle safely contains laser radiation during decommissioning at Sellafield
17 February 2022
Sellafield Ltd is the legal entity responsible for Sellafield, which is owned by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority.
Today it is faced with the challenge of cleaning-up the legacy of the site’s early operations, including some of the most hazardous nuclear facilities in Europe.
One of challenges being overcome is to decommission gloveboxes which are contaminated with alpha emitters.
A facility for reducing the size of gloveboxes has been built in an existing laboratory on the Sellafield site.
The facility is enclosed by Lasermet’s Laser Castle - laser safety enclosure. This self-contained laser cutting facility will reduce the risk to operators during remote size reduction of alpha contaminated gloveboxes.
