in 1997 bluegrass with the help of the princeton physics laboratory offered a demonstration of how the tftr could be disassembled with diamond wire sawing, “based upon the demonstration at pppl on the tftr surrogate, the diamond wire cutting technology is superior to the baseline technology for both cost and safety considerations. the combination of void filling with this cutting technology will significantly reduce personnel radiation exposure through shielding, remote operation (normal application of this technology), and radionuclide stabilization”.
