Full-system BWR decontamination using the LOMI (low-oxidation-state metal-ion) process can feasibly, cost effectively be applied to BWR/5 models. This report describes an EPRI evaluation of LOMI application at Commonwealth Edison's LaSalle County Station, a BWR/5 plant. Eight key areas were evaluated in terms of full-system decontamination, including: application parameters, long-term materials performance, system interactions, additional equipment requirements, radwaste issues, recontamination, economics, and licensing considerations. This study of LOMI process applicably was based on earlier successful application at Commonwealth Edison's Quad Cities BWR/3 (EPRI report TR-100049).
