Closed electropolishing system for decontamination of underwater surfaces

Creators

Description

Electropolishing is one of the most efficient techniques to decontaminate stainless steel surfaces. An underwater closed electropolishing system has been developed to decontaminate large stainless steel areas, specially designed for pool liners avoiding electrolyte spillage. Vibratory finishing is commonly used for non-nuclear applications as surface finishing. This project is directed to the nuclear decontamination field and consists in selecting the optimum blast for decontamination purposes in connection with a cleaning and degreasing method for physically removing soluble and low adherent contamination in pieces normally existing at nuclear power plants.
