## Description
Decontamination is one of the RAICo programme’s main themes and it is aiming at developing tools for fission decommissioning and fusion engineering applications.
RAICo are investigating the use of laser ablation / cleaning systems which can be deployed on  this PIN is being issued to understand the current market capability to deliver a robotic deployed laser cleaning system for the cleaning of small metallic parts and components of differing size and shapes. The system is envisaged to be an integrated system that could be, capable of combining a collaborative robot (e.g. UR-10e) deploying a cleaning laser system and linking that with a second collaborative robot (e.g. UR-10e) that can hold, manoeuvre and place objects inside an enclosure.
