Abstract

During the drainage of nuclear reactors for decommissioning or maintenance the activity is plated out on the steel surfaces can be a major dose burden to workers and has to be considered for final disposal. A simple model has been developed to correlate the kinetics of plate-out of radioactive materials on stainless steel surfaces at ambient temperature.
