Description

In order to study the phosphoric acid immersion electrolysis decontamination method of radioactive contamination 17-4PH stainless steel, a phosphoric acid immersion electrolysis experimental device was designed, the simulation experiment was carried out with the uncontaminated valve stem of the nuclear power plant as the research material and the best electrolytic decontamination parameters, including electrolyte concentration, current density and electrolyte temperature, were obtained. According to the best experimental parameters, the stained stem material was decontaminated. The results show that the test device is simple, safe and reliable. When the sample test time is 15 s, the sample surface β count has dropped from the initial 93/s to 2/s. It has been below the environmental background value of 9/s, the decontamination efficiency has reached 98%, and the decontamination requirements for the stained samples have been achieved.
