Decontamination of Water Cooled Reactors

By International Atomic Energy Agency

This publication is the first comprehensive review of decontamination processes used throughout the world on water cooled reactors, i.e. PWRs, BWRs, HWRs and WWERs, operating under reduced dose while under maintenance and repair. It focuses on the following objectives: man-sievert reduction, plant life extension, fuel life extension, and general safety and materials reliability. In addition, special attention has been given to full system decontamination which is being developed in response to reactor ageing. Technical isssues such as materials compabitility, waste generation or recontamination after decontamination are also addressed.
