Description

Visibility conditions in reactor wells and fuel pools of boiling water reactors do not normally cause any problems in German units. In particular cases, visibility and filter problems may occur during decommissioning or occasionally in units with pressurized water reactors. In the KRB Unit A, unexpected visibility trouble has appeared under decommissioning conditions. Turbidity has been the reason for the poor visibility and has caused a delay in decommissioning work. A report on attempts to solve this problem is presented. In the end, ozone has proven to be the best remedy
