Advanced Cleaning by Mass Finishing

摘要

This paper describes a testing program that examined the effectiveness of vibratory finishing for removing a variety of radioactively contaminated soils. The vibratory finishing process was studied by measuring the radiation levels of the test material, the lining of the vibratory finishing tub, and the media. Many soils including corrosion products, scale, oil, grease and paint were removed by the vibratory finishing process. The results of this program indicate that vibratory finishing should be an effective cleaning process for a variety of manufacturing operations. (ERA citation 09:008226)
