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.
