RADIOLOGICAL TEST OF DECONTAMINATION SHOWER WASTE WATER RECIRCULATION

Abstract

The development of a portable arctic decontamination shower unit incorporating a waste water treatment and recirculation system. An experimental unit was devised using sedimentation and chlorination as a basis of waste treatment. This system was recent1y tested with a radioactive fallout simulants. Results indicated tha over 99 per cent of the simulant was removed from the waste water and was deposited in the shower sump area.
