Abstract: After the fuel handling during nuclearpower plant (NPP) overhaul, the refueling pools are required to be decontaminated due to the need for maintenance work. The application of a new technology offoam at Ningde NPP is presented in this regard. It shows that the foam technology has greatly promoted collective dose control, loose contamination removal andradioactive waste minimization, compared with conventional decontamination processes.
