Purification of stainless steel scrap from radioactive contamination by electrolytic method
Possibility of purification of stainless steel scrap from radioactive contamination by electrolytic method has been shown. It was ascertained that for tubes «cold leg» of reactor cooling system purification occurs in one cycle of electrolysis at cathodic processing of the purified item in solution of 40 g/dm3 sodium chloride in 20...30 min at current density 100...130 mA/cm2. Tube samples are purified from 4000 to 20...10 β-particles/cm2min.
