Atomic Energy Code of Practice. The Coating of Surfaces for Use in the Nuclear Industry

摘要

This Code of Practice provides general advice to designers and others on the factors affecting the choice of coating for use within the nuclear industry. It itemizes those design features, which are pertinent to facilitating decontamination and specifies the optimum generic types of coating for a variety of working conditions. Data sheets on commercially available products are included in Section 6 of the Code under the appropriate generic type. Information provided on the data sheets includes a measure of the ease of decontamination of the coating using the accepted method of testing (currently as specified in BS 4247 Part 1) and other nuclear information, where available, i.e. radiation resistance, exhalation rate for radionuclide gases radon and thoron. It also indicates the more important conventional properties of the product. (ERA citation 13:021957)
