Effectiveness and safety aspects of selected decontamination methods for LWRs

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6289979
The Effectiveness and Safety Aspects of Selected Decontamination Methods program objective is to obtain information on chemical decontamination methods that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) might be expected to review in the near future. General topic areas are the effectiveness in reducing occupational dose to plant individuals, the volume of radioactive waste generated as a result of decontamination efforts, and plant information that would assist the NRC in their review process. To date, our evaluation has concentrated on decontamination factors (DFs) obtained, methods used in determining DFs, man-rems savings, waste forms generated, man-rem expended in performing the decontamination, and an evaluation of the overall operation (i.e., problems and lessons learned). This paper presents the preliminary results of these evaluations.
