Abstract
In the process of cutting with an abrasive water suspension jet (the s o-called WASS process), a suspension of water and fine-grained solids particles is forced through a nozzle. With the support of the German F ederation Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF), the process was first used in nuclear technology for decommissioning the Kahl Experime ntal Nuclear Power Station (VAK). The lower section of the core barrel was cut apart by this cold cutting technique. Other applications are to be investigated.
