A number of chemical reagents prepared especially for decontamination of reactor plumbing were evaluated as to corrosiveness, cost, effectiveness, and safe disposal. Turco 4306-B (a patented reagent composed of sulfamic acid, fluorides, chlorides, a sulfonic base soap and wetting agent) was recommended for decontamination of aluminum and stainless steel surfaces, hand tools, and small parts.
