Permanent Foam Fixatives for Radioactive Contamination Control: Environmental Chamber Testing

Le résumé fourni par la source

The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Environmental Management (EM) is tasked with closing cleanup sites throughout the DOE-EM complex. A major component of successfully closing the sites is the deactivation and decommissioning (D&D) of radioactively contaminated buildings in nuclear facilities. Deactivation consists of the process of placing a contaminated facility in stable condition in order to minimize any risks that could affect workers, the public, and the environment. Successful deactivation and decommissioning consists of leaving the buildings in an agreed upon end state to provide future protection against hazards. Hazards include radiation but can also include asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, and other environmental and physical hazards.
