This paper consists of an overview of the decontamination technology program being carried out at the Savannah River Site and discusses the use of state-of-the-art equipment and techniques for decontamination and removal (D R) applications. The purpose of the program is to minimize personnel radiation exposure, minimize the potential for uptake of radioactive material, and reduce the volume of contaminated waste. Implementation of technology and the status of new applications are discussed. 6 refs., 34 figs.
