[en] Purpose: To enable to attain the operation on a cylindrical coordinate system thereby performing dismantling operation exactly and at a high reliability. Constitution: A reactor dismantling robot is suspended by ropes by an elevating device to the inside of reactor shielding walls. The robot has a fixed portion having a plurality of legs abutting against the inner surface of the shieling walls while extending and shrinking radially in the horizontal direction and an arm portion having an operation arm disposed with a shielding wall breaking operation device. The arm portion is disposed with a mechanism for vertically moving the operation arm and a mechanism for forwarding and backwarding the operation arm in the horizontal direction and the arm portion itself is constituted so as to be rotatable around a vertical axis.
