1. A structural coupling system for a laser, the system comprising:
a laser source placed within a lower contaminated zone of a nuclear power facility;
an optical end displaced within a contaminated zone of said nuclear power facility;
a barrier separating said less lower contaminated zone and said contaminated zone;
said optical end connected to a structural coupling passing through said barrier via a first optical fiber;
said laser source connected to said structural coupling via a second optical fiber; and
wherein said laser source provides the laser to said optical end via said second optical fiber, said structural coupling, and said first optical fiber such that said laser source remains in a lower contaminated zone while said optical end works within said contaminated zone.
