Title: Atmospheric-Pressure Plasma Cleaning of Contaminated Surfaces

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/834655· OSTI ID:834655

The objective of this work is to demonstrate a practical, atmospheric pressure plasma tool for the surface decontamination of radioactive waste. Decontamination of radioactive materials that have accumulated on the surfaces of equipment and structures is a challenging and costly undertaking for the US Department of Energy. Our technology shows great potential for accelerating this clean up effort.
