Circular Saw and Diamond Wire Cutting Trials – RACE/UKAEA

UKAEA is researching remote cold cutting nuclear decommissioning size reduction technologies and has performed diamond wire saw (DWS) cutting trials on a specific, composite material component. UKAEA wants to gain additional information on the use of DWS technology, but also to investigate a second cold cutting technology - a circular saw (CS). UKAEA will provide targets to be cut using Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) DWS and CS machines.
