Abstract
Described is a method of removing chemical agents from the interior of chemical agent filled bodies such as munitions shells. A rotating nozzle is inserted into an opening cut into the shell. High pressure fluidjets (i.e. from about 1,500 psi to above 40,000 psi) are projected from orifices in the nozzle onto the chemical agent in the shell. Chemical agent and chemical agent laden fluid is contained and carried away from the shell for recycle or disposal.
