  1. DISMANTLING TECHNIQUES STATE OF THE ART ON DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNOLOGIES FOR DISMANTLING OF NUCLEAR INSTALLATIONS IN RUSSIA

  2. Outline • Techniques • Remote use of techniques for dismantling

  3. Plasma Arc Torch • High cutting speed • Low driving force • Can be used in air and water • Production of aerosols • Large quantity of secondary waste

  4. Electro-erosion fragmentation

  5. Electro-erosion fragmentation • Very precise • Adequate for “chirurgical operations” • Slow • Production of aerosols

  6. Gas Jet cutting • easily rigged by manipulation devices • high production runs • High quantities of secondary waste Fig. source: TMI

  7. Laser cuttingPrinciple Source: PRC Laser

  8. Laser cutting • Limited cutting thickness • Energy consuming • In the test phase

  9. Explosive cutting Explosive cutting: Shape charges are used to cut through thick steel plates and cylinders Ref: http://www.pml.tno.nl/en/em/ap_cutting.html

  10. Explosive cutting

  11. Choice of a dismantling techniqueTo be considered • maturity of the technique • environment • complexity, thickness, etc.. Of material to be dismantled • amount of generated secondary waste • cutting duration • operator's dose uptake • easiness of the operation • ….

  12. The remote-controlled complexes (RCC) for dismantling of nuclear reactors of channel type The general construction of the remote-control system for dismantling ofreactor of the first power unit at the Beloyarsk NPP: 1 - Bearing truss; 2 - Skewing platform; 3 - Crosspiece; 4 - Hoist; 5 - Water seal; 6,12 - Safety compartments; 7 - Repair box; 8 - Handling box; 9-11 - Radiation-safety plates; 13 - Facility for sealing and decontaminating the primary packing of radioactive waste; 14 - Auxiliary safety container; 15 - Platform turning mechanism; 16 - Crosspiece lifting mechanism; 17 - Light-duty (tool) manipulator; 18 - Heavy-duty (load) manipulator

  13. Remote-controlled complexes for dismantling of nuclear reactors of vessel type The dismantling system for mechanical cutting of the vessel of VVER-440 reactor: 1 - Supporting structure; 2 - Pull-rod; 3 - Tip; 4 - Ports; 5 - Platform; 6 - Turning gear; 7 - Rotary table; 8 - Radial slots of rotary table; 9 - Rotary tool heads; 10 - Cutting tool; 11 - Grip; 12 - Hoist; 13 - Manipulator; 14 - Tool box; 15 - Handling facility; 16 - Platform hoisting mechanism; 17- Safety shell; 18 - Centering device
