US nuclear graveyard scanned with advanced LiDAR tech for safety, risk mapping.

The 3D imaging tool helped them come up with a detailed picture of the conditions of the safe storage enclosures for six cocooned reactors and identify potential issues.

“These inspections are critical to ensuring the cocooned reactors continue to function as designed,” said Tashina Jasso, acting director with the HFO’s Site Stewardship Division.

“The inspections are part of our commitment to reducing risk and preserving infrastructure for long-term management and safe disposal.”
