Spôsob dekontaminácie rádioaktívnych materiálov PROCESS FOR DECONTAMINATING RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS

摘要

A process for the decontamination of radioactive materials which process comprises the steps of: i) contacting the material to be decontaminated with a dilute carbonate containing solution in the presence of ion exchange particles which either contain or have a chelating function bound to them; and ii) separating the ion exchange particles from the dilute carbonate containing solution. The radioactive materials which are treated may be natural materials, such as soil, or man-made materials such as concrete or steel, which have been subjected to contamination.
