Process for dismantling buried unsheltered equipment which is at risk of contamination and possibly is irradiating, and a vessel for implementing this process
A process for dismantling equipment that is buried, unsheltered, at risk of contamination and possibly is irradiating, and a vessel for implementing this process. According to the invention, buried equipment at risk of contamination, for example, an off-line effluent pipe, is dismantled in sections under cover of a movable vessel (124) placed above the section to be dismantled (12, 14). The invention also concerns a vessel (124) that has a self-supporting structure built around a deck (126) equipped with an elongated central opening (148) giving access to the section to be dismantled (12, 14).
