Using ice to blast off crud [decontamination]
Description
In Japan ice-blasting is being used to decontaminate irradiated material. Blasting with ice particles was developed in order to eliminate the problems associated with conventional mechanical methods. It has been applied to the decontamination of pump casings, valves, and primary circuit piping of BWR type reactors. (U.K.)
