CleanTech® Laser Blasting Positioned as Disruptive Alternative to Abrasive Sandblasting for Nuclear Decommissioning

ORLANDO, FL / ACCESS Newswire / March 18, 2026 / Laser Photonics Corporation (NASDAQ: LASE) ("Laser Photonics" or the "Company"), a global leader in laser systems for industrial and defense applications, today announced that it attended the annual Waste Management (WM) Symposia in Phoenix, Arizona, alongside its technology partner Brokk, a leader in remote-controlled demolition platforms. The two companies are collaborating on a laser-cleaning robot for remote nuclear decontamination and jointly presented their latest developments at the conference.

Laser Photonics also introduced its next-generation CleanTech® laser cleaning blaster, currently being custom engineered for a major nuclear power plant client. The system is designed to replace traditional abrasive sandblasting, which generates large volumes of secondary contaminated media that must be handled and disposed of as controlled waste. Instead, the CleanTech® process removes and vaporizes surface contaminants at the point of treatment through a laser-driven transmutation mechanism, dramatically reducing secondary waste and associated disposal costs. The unit features an integrated fume extraction system and a modular shroud to capture airborne debris, supporting safer facility operations.

"By prioritizing simple handling and modularity, we are providing our nuclear partners with a safer, more sustainable alternative to legacy decontamination methods such as abrasive sandblasting, which create substantial secondary waste streams," said Wayne Tupuola, Chief Executive Officer of Laser Photonics. "CleanTech® laser blasting minimizes that waste by vaporizing and transmuting surface contaminants, directly supporting cost reduction and waste-volume reduction targets in nuclear decommissioning."
