The present invention relates to a remote dismantling system for a nuclear power plant. The remote dismantling system comprises: a transfer system for transferring an object to be cut, the object being placed on one side of the transfer system; and a parallel vertical rail robot arm system arranged within the movement radius of the transfer system and comprising a cutting robot arm for cutting the object to be cut. The transfer system comprises a gantry crane and a jib crane which are arranged to be movable across each other and transfer the object to be cut. The parallel vertical rail robot arm system comprises a transfer robot arm arranged to be vertically movable along with the cutting robot arm in order to transfer finely cut pieces which have been cut from the object to be cut.

A cutting device and method for cutting a plurality of parallel fingers of at least one core component in a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the fingers, the fingers being adapted to be introduced into the fuel assembly of a nuclear reactor core. The cutting device includes: a first bearing plate including a plurality of abutments respectively for a finger to be cut. The cutting device also includes a rotatable cutting plate including a corresponding cutting blade for each abutment in the first bearing plate, the rotatable cutting plate being rotatable about a rotating axis between a starting position and a final position in a circumferential direction, the first bearing plate and the cutting plate being parallel to each other, the cutting blades including a plurality of groups of cutting blades. For each group of cutting blades the angle between the cutting blades and the corresponding abutments is different to an angle between the cutting blades and the corresponding abutments of any other group of cutting blades.
