Function:
  • The mass effect solution dislocates the radioactive element/s from material or skin enabling them to be removed along with the mass effect solution.
Application Options:
  • Manual application of the mass effect solution
  • Sprayer application of the mass effect solution
  • Applied concentrate and foamable solution
Removal Methods:
  • The solution containing the radioactive elements can then be picked up with paper toweling, absorbent pads, or rags. A water vacuum incorporating an ion exchange filter can also be used.
  • The solution containing the radioactive elements can be processed with ion exchange resin (small resin spheres) which concentrates the radioactivity.

Nuclear power plant applications:
  • Contaminated surfaces (walls, ceilings, and floors) currently being decontaminated using high pressure washing, CO2 blasting, scabbing, paint peeling, or other process.
  • Glove Boxes
  • Contaminated Water
  • Piping
  • Reactor cavities
Human Decontamination:
  • Removes contamination from skin – NO SCRUBBING – No skin abrasion – Fast throughput
  • A bank of up to six (6) shower is employed (based on exposure)
  • 1st shower – Mass Effect Solution for Halogens
  • 2nd shower – Water rinse
  • 3rd shower – Mass Effect Solution for Transition Metals
  • 4th shower – Water rinse
  • 5th shower – Mass Effect Solution for Actinides
  • 6th shower – Water rinse
  • Effluent passed through ion exchange resin to remove radioactivity thereby permitting effluent to be stored in small containers and reused

 

    

 

Hospital Decontamination:
  • Emergency and operating rooms are highly susceptible to radiological contamination in the event of an accidental nuclear release or an act of terrorism.
  • An application of our Mass Effect Solution will remove contamination to acceptable levels.
  • The Mass Effect Solution works on:Ceilings, walls, and floorsOperating TablesGurneysTables, trays, stands, etc.
