Abstract:
A circulation pipe of a chemical decontamination apparatus including a malonic acid injection apparatus and an oxalic acid injection apparatus is connected to a purification system pipe, which is made of carbon steel, of a boiling water nuclear power plant. A malonic acid aqueous solution is injected from the malonic acid injection apparatus into the circulation pipe. An oxalic acid aqueous solution is injected from the oxalic acid injection apparatus into the circulation pipe. A reduction decontaminating solution including a malonic acid of 5200 ppm and an oxalic acid within a range of 50 to 400 ppm is supplied into the purification system pipe through the circulation pipe. Reduction decontamination for an inner surface of the purification system pipe is executed. After the reduction decontamination for the purification system pipe finishes, the malonic acid and oxalic acid included in the solution are decomposed and furthermore, the solution is purified.
