Abstract

See full text

System and method for abrading radioactive contaminants from the inside surface of a pipe. The system includes a nozzle block capable of mixing a liquid and an abrasive grit into a suitable liquid-abrasive grit cleaning composition and impinging the cleaning composition against the inside surface of the pipe. The system further includes an inflatable torus-shaped seal for confining the liquid-abrasive grit cleaning composition to a predetermined portion of the inside surface of the pipe so that substantially all of the contaminants and cleaning composition can be suitably vacuumed from the surface.
