Special technique at KRB A:
Decontamination of
stainless steel parts with
phosphoric acid
• quick processing time• reliability• less secondary waste• maximal recycling effect
Electropolishing

Regeneration of Phosphoric Acid
• Recycling of Phosphoric acid by
• Reuse acid for decontamination
• Thermolysis of iron oxalat
- adding oxalic acid
- precipitate the dissolved iron as
- iron oxalate
- extracting the iron oxalate
- vaporization
- heating the iron oxalate
- transformation into iron oxid for final storage

Example „Secondary Steam Generator“
Vessels of three Steam Generators
decontaminated from 20,000 Bq/cm²
to free release
producing only 1,5% radioactive waste
