Case Study: WVDP Phase 1A - Decommissioning

Decommissioning a nuclear facility requires precision, planning, and advanced structural analysis. At the West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP) Phase 1A, American DND engineers faced the challenge of safely dismantling heavily reinforced structures—some with walls up to five feet thick—without risking premature collapse.

By leveraging RISA-3D, the team modeled structural integrity, optimized demolition sequences, and ensured on-the-fly safety adjustments during active deconstruction. Their innovative approach transformed a high-risk demolition into a controlled and predictable process.
