A device for separating a shielding slab for a heavy water reactor according to an embodiment includes: a body; a circular rail installed on at least one side of the body; and a decommissioner for decommissioning a shielding slab installed on the circular rail and installed on an inner wall of a heavy water reactor, wherein the decommissioner includes a decommission head moving on the circular rail, a separator installed in the decommission head and separating and desalinizing the shielding slab, and a gripper installed in the decommission head and gripping the separated shielding slab.

A method for decommissioning a heavy water reactor facility includes: opening an upper part of the calandria vault; inserting a support device into an inner part of the calandria vault through the upper part of the calandria vault to support the main shell of the calandria; cutting between the main shell and the sub-shell of the calandria by inserting a cutting device into the inner part of the calandria vault through the upper part of the calandria vault; and drawing out the main shell of the calandria to the outside of the calandria vault by moving the support device from the inner part of the calandria vault to the outside through the upper part.

A method for complex-decommissioning a nuclear facility is disclosed. The method for complex-decommissioning the nuclear facility includes: cutting and expanding an inner wall of the cavity; installing a cutting device that cuts and decommissions the nuclear reactor pressure vessel inside the cavity; fixing the nuclear reactor pressure vessel inside the cavity by using a fixture; and cutting and decommissioning the nuclear reactor pressure vessel fixed inside the cavity by using a cutting device.

Disclosed herein is a machine for cutting nozzles of reactor vessels. The machine for cutting nozzles of reactor vessels comprises a cutting unit positioned at an upper surface edge of a reactor vessel having a nozzle and having a saw blade part having different contact areas to cut the nozzle, a drive unit providing the saw blade part with rotary power, and a foreign substance suction unit provided at one end of the cutting unit in contiguity with the saw blade part to suck foreign substances generated when the nozzle is cut by the saw blade part, wherein the foreign substance suction unit sucks the foreign substances by approaching an outer peripheral surface of the nozzle when the saw blade part moves in a cutting direction of the nozzle.

A method of fragmentation of elements of a nuclear reactor includes placement of elements inside a cask and subsequent cutting, the cask being perforated. Each element is lowered into the cask by a full internal height of the cask using a gripper having clamping jaws. The element is intercepted at an upper edge of the cask, lifted, and positioned using video surveillance and artificial lighting so that a hydraulic cutter is directly under the clamping jaws. The element is cut at a point corresponding to a level of the upper edge of the cask, separating from the element a fragment equal to the internal height of the cask. Then the upper part of the element remaining after cutting is lowered inside the cask by the full internal height of the cask and the cutting of the element into fragments is repeated until the element is fully cut to fragments.

The invention relates to an arrangement for dismantling a container (10) which comprises a circumferential wall (20) and an opening surrounded by said wall and which has a screening cover (14) situated above the opening, and to a dismantling tool for cutting segments (42, 44, 46, 53, 56) out of the circumferential wall. The dismantling takes place in such a way that regions of the circumferential wall which have a hollow cylindrical geometry are successively cut into segments and these segments are then removed. After a segmented region having the hollow cylindrical ring geometry has been removed, an end edge of the remaining circumferential wall is available. The screening cover has a lowering device for successively lowering the screening cover onto a particular available end edge.

An apparatus for decommissioning heavy-water reactor facilities includes a shielding device including a drawing-out space that is mounted on the reactivity mechanism deck and communicates with one through-hole among the plurality of through-holes, a separating device that is inserted into the inside of one of the plurality of guide tubes through the drawing-out space and the one through-hole and cuts an end portion of the one guide tube connected to the calandria, and a drawing-out device that is inserted into the inside of the one guide tube through the drawing-out space and the one through-hole and supports the end portion of the one guide tube to draw out the one guide tube into the inside of the drawing-out space through the one through-hole.

An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus for dismantling for heavy water reactor facilities, including: a cutting device configured to divide a calandria of the heavy water reactor facilities into a main shell and a sub-shell; and a transfer device configured to draw the main shell cut by the cutting device to the outside, wherein the transfer device includes a fixing unit configured to fix the calandria; and a transfer unit configured to transfer the fixing unit.

A heavy-water reactor facility dismantling apparatus according to an embodiment includes: a first cutting device for cutting the periphery of a first nozzle portion of a calandria, wherein the first nozzle portion is connected to the upper end of a first pipe positioned in the calandria of a heavy-water reactor facility; a second cutting device for cutting a first support part of the calandria, wherein the first support portion is connected to the lower end of the first pipe connected to the first nozzle portion; and a fixing and drawing device for fixing and drawing the first nozzle portion cut by the first cutting device.
