Five modules of the highly radioactively contaminated ''hot canyon'' in one of the chemical processing plants for irradiated fuel at Savannah River Plant were successfully decontaminated for installation of a new process. Decontamination was completed in about one year at a cost of about $150,000. The various techniques employed, equipment used, and the overall job plan are described. (auth)
