Decontamination of the Douglas Point Reactor

Abstract

The Douglas Point reactor primary heat transport system (HTS), including the fuel, was successfully decontaminated by the CAN-DECONm process in 1975. A second decontamination, also using the CAN-DECON process, was successfully performed in May 1983. This paper outlines the need for the decontamination, the process used, the results obtained, and the benefits to the station maintenance and operation.
