Full RCS decontamination: Status of the Indian Point 2 National Demonstration
A national demonstration of the full reactor coolant system (RCS) chemical decontamination at Indian Point 2 nuclear generating station is planned for February 1995. The decontamination will include the reactor coolant, residual heat removal, and chemical and volume control systems and will employ a five-step alkaline permanganate/Can-Derem (AP/Can-Derem) dilute chemical process. A decontamination factor of 5 is anticipated, which is expected to lower cumulative worker radiation exposure by as much as 3500 person-rem over the next ten operating years. This project is very significant for the U.S. nuclear industry in that it will be the first time an operating plant with plans for continued operation is chemically decontaminated.
