Description
Summary:To make a contribution to radiological safety evaluation, this aerosol characterization study of JPDR decommissioning was undertaken. In the case of radioactively contaminated stainless steel pipe segmentation with mechanical cutting tools, radioactive aerosol generation was about 10 times greater than that with thermal cutting tools. Underwater cutting methods effectively reduced aerosol generation compared with in-air cutting methods.
