Powerful laser cuts 100mm steel underwater with ease for safer nuclear cleanup | Even in simulated underwater conditions at depths up to 10 meters, KIMM’s technology can use a powerful laser to cut through stainless steel
A South Korean research team has developed a new underwater laser-cutting tech that can assist in the safe dismantling of nuclear reactors.
The laser process used by KIMM falls under thermal cutting, which offers a far safer option for working underwater than traditional nuclear dismantle techniques, which frequently rely on mechanical methods. Meanwhile, the South Korean institute’s advances provide a complete strategy to ensure safety and efficiency in disassembly, focusing on the future as more nuclear plants are scheduled to be decommissioned. From early dispatches for outlets like USA Today and Al Jazeera to in-depth analyses of AI and hypersonic advancements for Interesting Engineering, his storytelling prowess has evolved alongside the ever-changing landscape of innovation.
