1. A method for decommissioning a nuclear facility that includes a nuclear reactor pressure vessel, a plurality of pipes that are directly connected to the nuclear reactor pressure vessel, a biological shield concrete that surrounds the nuclear reactor vessel and the plurality of pipes and includes a cavity where the nuclear reactor pressure vessel is located and a plurality of upper penetration holes arranged around the cavity and overlapping the plurality of pipes, and a plurality of sandboxes that cover the plurality of upper penetration holes, comprising:exposing the plurality of upper penetration holes by removing the plurality of sandboxes;enlarging an upper space of the cavity by cutting an upper portion of the biological shield concrete that is disposed between the plurality of upper penetration holes and the cavity; andseparating the nuclear reactor pressure vessel from the biological shield concrete,whereinthe exposing the plurality of upper penetration holes is carried out by removing a sealant that is disposed between the plurality of sandboxes and the upper portion of the biological shield concrete, and separating the plurality of sandboxes from the plurality of upper penetration holes. 2. The method for decommissioning the nuclear facility of claim 1, whereinthe plurality of upper penetration holes are disposed apart from each other in the upper portion of the biological shield concrete, andthe enlarging the upper space of the cavity is carried out by cutting the upper portion of the biological shield concrete along a first cutting line that connects between outer sides of the plurality of upper penetration holes with reference to the cavity and a plurality of second cutting lines that connect between inner sides of the plurality of upper penetration holes and the cavity. 3. The method for decommissioning the nuclear facility of claim 2, whereinthe plurality of upper penetration holes are each formed in a shape of a quadrangle,the first cutting line connects between an outer edge of each of the plurality of upper penetration holes with reference to the cavity, andthe second cutting lines connect between inner vertices of each of the plurality of upper penetration holes and the cavity. 4. The method for decommissioning the nuclear facility of claim 1, wherein the enlarging the upper space of the cavity is carried out by cutting the upper portion of the biological shield concrete using a wire saw. 5. The method for decommissioning the nuclear facility of claim 1, further comprising cutting the plurality of pipes. 6. The method for decommissioning the nuclear facility of claim 1, wherein the nuclear reactor pressure vessel is a pressurized water reactor. 7. A method for decommissioning a nuclear facility that includes a nuclear reactor pressure vessel, a plurality of pipes that are directly connected with the nuclear reactor pressure vessel, a plurality of supporters that protrude in a direction of a biological shield concrete from the nuclear reactor pressure vessel, a cavity that surrounds the nuclear reactor pressure vessel and the plurality of pipes and where the nuclear reactor pressure vessel is positioned, the biological shield concrete that includes a plurality of upper penetration holes arranged around the cavity and overlapping the plurality of pipes and the plurality of supporters, and a plurality of sandboxes that cover the plurality of upper penetration holes, comprising:exposing the plurality of upper penetration holes by removing the plurality of sandboxes;enlarging an upper space of the cavity by cutting an upper portion of the biological shield concrete that is disposed between the plurality of upper penetration holes and the cavity; andseparating the nuclear reactor pressure vessel from the biological shield concrete.
