FIELD: nuclear engineering. SUBSTANCE: facility has cutting module moving relative to structure and positioned in space. Module carries cutting head that ejects water and abrasive particles under pressure. It also carries module-to-structure distance sensor, dosimeter, and decontaminating device. Distance sensor is, essentially, feeler gage. Decontaminating device is made in the form of impeller. Facility also has device for accumulating abrasive particles and small cutting residue as well as video camera for watching the structure. Facility is noted for high mobility and incorporates special metering devices. EFFECT: reduced probability of radioactive contamination; improved safety. 11 cl, 5 dwg
