Abstract
The proposed installation comprises an abrasive liquid jet cutting module using a mobile nozzle (25) rotatable in all directions and which also supports a sensor (37) so that it can previously recognize the position or shape of the structure to be cut, a dosimeter (49) to measure its irradiation and a decontamination device (51) to eliminate all excess contamination from it. Cutting residue may be collected by suction. The installation is more universal than previously known installations.
