Manufacturing Integration Problem

Summary

Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, or SRNS, is improving pit production with a mobile, automated LIBS system for real-time, non-destructive defect detection. Replacing slow, costly destructive testing, the system enables immediate defect identification before additional costs accrue. It includes a coaxial optical path, rotating sample fixture and radiation-shielded design to ensure accuracy and durability. This solution enhances production efficiency, reduces financial risk and improves safety standards, setting a new standard for non-destructive testing in nuclear manufacturing.
