Abstract: The invention concerns laser decontamination of the surface of a shaped component (3). Said decontamination comprises the following steps: successively impinging parts of the surface of the shaped component (3) with pulsed laser beams of wavelengths in the ultraviolet range and enabling the surface layer of the shaped component (3) to be ablated in the form of particles, the laser beams being distributed so as to cover simultaneously each treated part; and recuperating by suction said particles.
