'Scabbling' set for wider industrial application

摘要

A system developed for decontaminating submerged surfaces in radioactive waste containers is set for wider industrial application, according to specialist Midlands engineering company, Nuclear Engineering Services Limited (NESL). Through its work for the British Nuclear Group in the design, manufacture, assembly and test of waste retrieval machines for use in the Silo Emptying Plant at Sellafield, NESL has considerable experience of the factors to be considered when handling wet or solid radioactive waste. Together with its associate company, Power Jet Systems Ltd., it is now developing a bespoke range of water jet cleaning equipment for these particularly hazardous duties.
