Under Decommissioning
DD has acquired a Brokk demolition robot, which is currently on display at the Contractor and Craftsmen Fair 2015 in Messecenter Herning.
EErenfred Pedersen, from whom we purchased the robot, has chosen to exhibit it at the EH15 fair. Subsequently, we will use it to mill concrete from the facade of the DR3 reactor. The concrete is reinforced with tiny steel spheres, requiring a powerful machine for its removal. The robot will become contaminated with radioactive dust, so once it enters the reactor hall, it will not be removed until our work is complete. At that point, it will be managed as radioactive waste.
The Brokk is seen here in Danish Decommissioning's workshop hall just outside Denmark's largest research reactor DR3.
