Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:354923

In today`s competitive environment, chemical decontamination technology has evolved to meet nuclear industry challenges to control costs and reduce outage times. EPRI`s 1998 Chemical Decontamination Conference--held May 18-19, 1998, in Greenville, South Carolina--featured the results of the first applications of the EPRI decontamination for decommissioning (DFD) process in the decommissioning of Big Rock Point and Maine Yankee plants. Also discussed in the 29 presentations were chemical decontamination progress at European and Japanese nuclear plants, recent developments and applications in the area of solvents, the real versus perceived risks that surround decontamination solvents containing oxalic acid, and the use of chemical decontamination to reduce the cost of disposing of retired components from operating plants.
