Dismantling of Reactor Internals by Underwater Plasma Arc Cutting
Plasma Arc Cutting System
Plasma arc cutting is a thermal method to cut objects via the heat generated from an arc plasma, which is produced by applying an electric current and flowing gas between the arc node and the object to be cut. This method can be applied to cut objects in both water and air. By-product treatment is necessary for worker safety and waste management.
