Description
Two solutions have been adopted: - removal of the material from its original container, treatment in a special container; - treatment of the material directly inside its original protective packing. The treatment of a fluorination oven illustrates the second process. After a thorough cleaning of the enclosure, the oven is fixed in and the contamination held in place by a varnish. The assembly is placed in a special container and covered with shaken-down concrete. The container is shut by means of a welded cover. The operations are carried out under reduced pressure. At the end of this process it is impossible to detect any residual radioactivity. (authors)

Deux solutions ont ete adoptees: - extraire le materiel de son enveloppe d'origine et le conditionner dans un container special; - conditionner le materiel directement a l'interieur de la protection d'origine. Le conditionnement d'un four de fluoration illustre le deuxieme procede. Apres un nettoyage complet de l'enceinte, le four en a ete rendu solidaire et la contamination a ete fixee au moyen d'un vernis. L'ensemble a ete place dans un container special et enrobe de beton vibre. Le container a ete ferme par un couvercle soude. L'ensemble des operations a ete realise sous depression. A la suite de ces operations aucune activite residuelle n'a ete decelee. (auteurs)Files
