Plant Decontamination

NuVision Engineering, Inc. can provide radiological decontamination services to commercial nuclear and government facilities as well as many non-nuclear applications.  We have successfully assisted customers worldwide in the area of decontamination.

The Plant Media Abrasive Radiological Decontamination System is a unique, dust free way to efficiently clean many types of surfaces.

We have successfully employed its decontamination process in the areas of:

  • Pipe-end decontamination for steam generator replacement projects worldwide
  • Equipment, structural steel, and concrete decontamination

Benefits of our decontamination system include:             

  • Little, if any, dust is generated (due to the soft media's absorption qualities) during the blasting process, reducing the potential for airborne contamination
  • Lightweight, portable equipment designed to fit the clients' special needs
  • Equipment can be automated to reduce man-rem exposure
  • Wide selection of abrasive blast media to accommodate a variety of surface cleaning needs
  • Fast surface decontamination with minimal change to the surface profile
  • Media can be recycled up to 5 times and may possibly be incinerated, further reducing waste
  • Soft media can be compacted up to 6 to 1 ratio
  • Dry blasting - no liquid waste to clean up
  • High decontamination factors are achieved with a single blasting pass

The soft media blast cleaning system has many uses outside of the nuclear arena, including:

  • Grease/oil removal from equipment
  • Removal of paints (lead based)
  • Graffiti removal

NuVision Engineering, Inc. has provided decontamination services to commercial nuclear and DOE sites and would like the opportunity to assist in solving your nuclear and non-nuclear cleaning needs.
