Is this your challenge ?

Either to reduce the dose level impact in a facility to allow for easier access during dismantling (radioprotection), to minimise the potential for spreading contamination during further dismantling (safety), to allow for the disposal of waste in a lower category or even to consider clearance of material (ALARP & cost savings), decontamination is always defined as the removal of contamination from surfaces before or after dismantling. Specifically applied to metal surfaces, hot spot or fixed contamination are typically removed so to allow maintenance, re-use or facilitate future dismantling.
For metals, technologies often rely on chemical cleaning or treatment using pre-coated wipes or other absorbent. Extensive cleaning of expensive or fragile parts can quickly become resource-intensive: more efficient and effective decontamination technologies and processes can bring significant benefits to current and future D&D projects.
