Abstract

The way of transfer from CO small-scale model installation to industrial CO laser is proposed. A calculation model scaling of CO laser with RF discharge is developed. The calculation model is used for scaling small-scale experimental CO laser installation on which laser generation is received. It is proposed industrial CO laser for dismantlement of obsolete nuclear reactors and laser-hardening of working surfaces of railway rails. Estimated cost proposed CO laser makes several hundred thousand US dollars. Proposed CO laser can work without an optical cable due to installation of the laser head on the manipulator.
