In the decommissioning of nuclear power reactors it is desirable to dismantle the highly radioactive pressure vessel by breaking it down into pieces of managable size. In order to minimize the exposure of the staff involved, the time required for this action should be reduced to a minimum. A method is proposed here which employs explosive technology to break the vessel into preformed fragments in a single pass. Experiments using simplified 1:20 scale vessels are described.
