A review of decontamination technologies under development and demonstration at the ICPP

The Idaho Chemical Processing Plant (ICPP) Decontamination Development Group has the task of evaluating and demonstrating new decontamination techniques. The increased regulation and concern about secondary waste associated with chemical flushing has caused many nuclear facilities to abandon many of their former chemical decontamination methods. At the ICPP, an additional reason for investigating novel decontamination methods was the difficulty of processing typical decontamination liquid waste (containing sodium and potassium salts) through the waste calcining facility. This paper describes various cleaning options at the ICPP.
