INTERIM REPORT NO. 7 ON INTERNAL CHEMICAL DECONTAMINATION OF KW, KE, AND B REACTORS REAR FACE PIPING WITH TURCO 4306-B

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4203136

Decontamination of the three reactors was made with a minimum of additional equipment or modification of the reactor piping using Turco 4306-B. Reduction of the KW and KE rear face radiation levels by 75 and 85%, respectively, was achieved by this process. At the K Reactors, rear face radiation levels were reduced from 150 to 450 mrads to 25 mrads. To date there has been no evidence other than that Tarco 4306-B is an exceedingly safe and effective agent when used as indicated. (W.L.H.)
