A novel application of acrylic resin UV-Curing methodology for Radioactive surface Decontamination

Le résumé fourni par la source

Abstract The facilities dealing with radiation technology face the brunt of Radioactive decontamination. A unique UV-Curing method is provided for decontamination of radioisotopes on the surfaces which has radiation dealing facilities. In this method acrylic UV-Curing resin was poured on a contaminated surface followed by exposure under the UV light of 365nm wavelength from a UV irradiation chamber. Upon UV irradiation, the UV-Curing resin interacted with the radioactively contaminated surface and after polymerization, the solidified resin was then stripped off, leaving behind a précised clean surface. The present study is the proof-of-concept of a novel application of acrylic resin UV-Curing methodology for Radioactive surface contamination removal to create a economical clean, effective and safe environment with minimal waste generation post processing ready for environment friendly incineration.
