LABORATORY INVESTIGATION OF DECONTAMINATING SOLUTIONS FOR PRIMARY LOOP DECONTAMINATION IN THE NEW PRODUCTION REACTOR
An investigation was made of methods for decontaminating the primary loop of the New Production Reactor (NPR). Decontamination factors ranging from fifty to several thousand were obtained with several different combinations of cleaning solutions. In general, fission product activity was removed to a lower residual level than was activated corrosion product activity, and carbon steel was easier to decontaminate than was stainless steel. It was necessary to completely remove the oxide film from the metal surfaces to obtain adequate activated corrosion product decontamination. Descaling procedures were also satisfactory for decontaminating fission product and uranium dioxide contamination. (M.C.G.)
