Decontamination of Tritium Contaminated Surfaces Using Strippable Polymeric Gel

Abstract:

The purpose of the present paper consists in finding a more efficient and less expensive decontamination method for surfaces contaminated with Tritium-labelled compounds, being able to provide information for nuclear field specialists. This paper studies the polymeric hydrogel DeconGel, presenting the methods and facilities used, as well as the obtained results from the experiments and tests. The decontamination factor of DeconGel type 1108 for the analysed surfaces (contaminated with a mixture of tritium labelled compounds) can take values in the range of 76%-93%, while in the case of DeconGel type 1102 the values of the decontamination factor for the analysed surfaces (contaminated with tritiated oil) can vary between 76% and 98%, results far greater than the ones obtained with the classical method of wet wiping. Because the results were more than satisfying, this paper concludes by recommending the implementation of this new method.
