Laser Photonics Secures Repeat Bruce Power Order for Advanced CleanTech Laser Technology
Laser Photonics (NASDAQ: LASE) has secured orders for two additional CleanTech 500-CTHD laser cleaning systems from Sargent & Lundy for Bruce Power's nuclear facility in Ontario, Canada. Following the success of their initial system, these new units will be deployed in Bruce Power's Vacuum Building Outage (VBO) program, which began in April 2024.
The VBO program involves temporarily shutting down Bruce B's four nuclear units for maintenance and inspection, a process required approximately once every decade. The CleanTech systems offer environmental and worker safety advantages, including reduced radioactive waste generation and elimination of chemical cleaning agents. The technology enables precise cleaning without damaging underlying materials.
Bruce Power, operator of North America's largest operational nuclear power plant, will utilize these systems in their vacuum buildings, which serve as additional protective barriers against radioactivity release.
Laser Photonics (NASDAQ: LASE) ha ricevuto ordini per due ulteriori sistemi di pulizia laser CleanTech 500-CTHD da Sargent & Lundy per l'impianto nucleare di Bruce Power in Ontario, Canada. Dopo il successo del loro sistema iniziale, queste nuove unità verranno impiegate nel programma di interruzione dell'edificio a vuoto (VBO) di Bruce Power, iniziato ad aprile 2024.
Il programma VBO prevede la chiusura temporanea delle quattro unità nucleari di Bruce B per manutenzione e ispezione, un processo necessario circa ogni dieci anni. I sistemi CleanTech offrono vantaggi per l'ambiente e la sicurezza dei lavoratori, tra cui la riduzione della generazione di rifiuti radioattivi e l'eliminazione degli agenti chimici per la pulizia. La tecnologia consente una pulizia precisa senza danneggiare i materiali sottostanti.
Bruce Power, operatore della centrale nucleare operativa più grande del Nord America, utilizzerà questi sistemi nei loro edifici a vuoto, che fungono da barriere protettive aggiuntive contro il rilascio di radioattività.

레이저 포토닉스 (NASDAQ: LASE)는 캐나다 온타리오의 브루스 파워 원자력 시설을 위해 Sargent & Lundy로부터 클린테크 500-CTHD 레이저 청소 시스템 두 대의 추가 주문을 확보했습니다. 초기 시스템의 성공에 이어, 이 새로운 장비는 2024년 4월에 시작된 브루스 파워의 진공 빌딩 정지 프로그램(VBO)에 배치될 예정입니다.
VBO 프로그램은 약 10년마다 한 번씩 필요한 유지보수 및 점검을 위해 브루스 B의 네 개 핵 발전소를 임시로 가동 중단하는 과정을 포함합니다. 클린테크 시스템은 방사성 폐기물 발생량 감소 및 화학 청소제의 제거를 포함하여 환경 및 작업자 안전의 이점을 제공합니다. 이 기술은 기본 재료를 손상시키지 않고 정밀한 청소를 가능하게 합니다.
북미에서 가장 큰 운영 중인 원자력 발전소의 운영자 브루스 파워는 방사능 방출에 대한 추가 보호 장치로 기능하는 진공 빌딩에서 이 시스템을 사용할 것입니다.
Laser Photonics (NASDAQ: LASE) a obtenu des commandes pour deux systèmes de nettoyage au laser supplémentaires CleanTech 500-CTHD de Sargent & Lundy pour l'installation nucléaire de Bruce Power en Ontario, Canada. Suite au succès de leur système initial, ces nouvelles unités seront déployées dans le programme d'arrêt des bâtiments à vide (VBO) de Bruce Power, qui a débuté en avril 2024.
Le programme VBO implique l'arrêt temporaire des quatre unités nucléaires de Bruce B pour maintenance et inspection, un processus nécessaire environ tous les dix ans. Les systèmes CleanTech offrent des avantages environnementaux et de sécurité pour les travailleurs, notamment une réduction de la génération de déchets radioactifs et l'élimination des agents de nettoyage chimiques. La technologie permet un nettoyage précis sans endommager les matériaux sous-jacents.
Bruce Power, exploitant de la plus grande centrale nucléaire opérationnelle d'Amérique du Nord, utilisera ces systèmes dans ses bâtiments sous vide, qui servent de barrières de protection supplémentaires contre la libération de radioactivité.
Laser Photonics (NASDAQ: LASE) hat Bestellungen für zwei zusätzliche CleanTech 500-CTHD Laserreinigungssysteme von Sargent & Lundy für die Kernkraftanlage Bruce Power in Ontario, Kanada, erhalten. Nach dem Erfolg ihres ersten Systems werden diese neuen Einheiten im Vakuum-Gebäude-Ausschaltprogramm (VBO) von Bruce Power eingesetzt, das im April 2024 begann.
Das VBO-Programm beinhaltet die vorübergehende Stilllegung der vier nuklearen Einheiten von Bruce B für Wartungs- und Inspektionsarbeiten, ein Prozess, der etwa alle zehn Jahre erforderlich ist. Die CleanTech-Systeme bieten ökologische Vorteile und Sicherheit für die Arbeiter, einschließlich der Reduzierung der Erzeugung radioaktiver Abfälle und der Eliminierung chemischer Reinigungsmittel. Die Technologie ermöglicht eine präzise Reinigung, ohne die darunter liegenden Materialien zu beschädigen.
Bruce Power, Betreiber des größten operativen Kernkraftwerks in Nordamerika, wird diese Systeme in ihren Vakuumgebäuden nutzen, die als zusätzliche Schutzbarrieren gegen die Freisetzung von Radioaktivität dienen.
- Secured repeat order for two additional CleanTech systems from major nuclear facility
- Demonstrates product validation and market acceptance in critical nuclear industry
- Technology proven effective in reducing radioactive waste and improving worker safety
- None.
Insights
The follow-up order from Bruce Power, North America's largest operational nuclear facility, represents a significant commercial validation for Laser Photonics' CleanTech technology. This development carries several important implications for investors:
The nuclear power sector's adoption of LPC's technology creates a compelling proof of concept in an industry known for stringent safety requirements and extensive validation processes. Successfully passing these hurdles positions LPC favorably for expansion across North America's 93 operating nuclear reactors, representing a substantial addressable market.
The repeat order pattern is particularly noteworthy for three reasons:
- It demonstrates product reliability and customer satisfaction in mission-critical applications
- It suggests potential for recurring revenue as other facilities adopt similar maintenance cycles
- It validates the technology's value proposition in reducing radioactive waste and enhancing worker safety
From a competitive perspective, the successful implementation at Bruce Power creates significant barriers to entry for competitors. Nuclear facility operators typically maintain long-term relationships with proven vendors due to the high costs and risks associated with switching technologies. This positions LPC to potentially capture a dominant share in this specialized market segment.
The timing of this order, coinciding with Bruce Power's Vacuum Building Outage program, suggests a strategic expansion opportunity as other nuclear facilities approach their maintenance cycles. The decade-long maintenance intervals in the industry could create a predictable, long-term revenue stream for LPC's cleaning systems.
Additional Laser Cleaning Systems Ensure Superior Nuclear Plant Maintenance

CleanTech technology allows for precise cleaning without damaging underlying materials and reduces health risks by eliminating the need for chemicals. The second and third CleanTech system will be deployed in Bruce Power’s Vacuum Building Outage (VBO) program, as was the first LPC unit. The VBO commenced in April 2024, involving a temporary shutdown of Bruce B’s four nuclear units for thorough maintenance and inspection.
Vacuum buildings are unique to Bruce Power’s generating stations and are integral to its comprehensive safety system, providing an additional protective barrier against the release of radioactivity into the environment. All four operating units must be shut down approximately once every decade to facilitate these vacuum building inspections and maintenance.
