  • 1. Paul Scherrer Inst. (PSI), Villigen (Switzerland)

Description

Decontamination is one of the possible methods for limiting radiation fields and thus for reducing the radiation dose. This article lists the reasons which may be in favour of decontamination procedures. An overview of conventional methods leads to several examples of decontamination measures performed on light water reactors. In addition to discussing the resultant waste the author also touches upon the problem of recontamination and points out the risks of decontamination. 11 figs., 6 tabs., 37 refs
