CHEMICAL DECONTAMINATION FOR TUBE REPLACEMENT

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4243378

In a production test at the Hanford Dual Purpose Reactor, it was found that considerable benefits can be obtained by decontamination with Turco 4306-B. The procedures for use in such decontamination are presented, and recommendations for their use as a tool for reduction of contamination effects are made. It is pointed out that sizeable percentagcs of total personnel exposure occur during tube replacement outages. Equipment and costs arc also discussed as well as corrosion by Turco and waste disposal.
