REI designed and built remote-controlled equipment to remove the internals of the Fermi nuclear reactor.

REI designed and built remote-controlled equipment to remove the internals of the Parr nuclear reactor.

REI designed and built remote-controlled, underwater equipment to remove the reactor internals at the Rancho Seco nuclear plant.  The equipment provided included a reciprocating saw, a circumferential saw, a three-axis milling machine and plate pullers.

REI designed and built the saw and chip collection systems using to remove the fuel grid from the Millstone nuclear reactor.  A full-scale mockup was built at REI’s facility for process development and operator training.

REI provided the equipment used to segment the cyclotron on the campus of Harvard University.  This second-generation reciprocating saw eliminated air borne radioactive waste associate with thermal cutting.  The blade design and machine tool configuration became the industry standard.  REI-designed blades and reciprocating equipment has been used to segment nuclear reactors at SMUD Rancho Seco, […]

REI pioneered the process of reciprocating mechanical segmentation of large radioactive components.  The cyclotron at Argonne National Laboratory was segmented into blocks for removal from the site using REI-designed equipment.
