NEUP CINR-25-34674: Repair of in-service components will enhance the cost competitiveness of LWRs

This proposal will improve the economic competitiveness of the LWR fleet by using modern technology to develop tools and approaches to repair and heal reactor components while in service. We aim to extend the lifetime of LWR components using laser-based heat treatments and therefore enhance the cost competitiveness for the nuclear power industry. This project will develop laser-based heat treatment procedures and advance the concept of a remote repair device during service.
