Szabo, Jeff. Pilot-Scale Decontamination of Surrogate Radionuclides in a Pilot-Scale Drinking Water Distribution System. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC, EPA/600/R-16/148, 2016.

Impact/Purpose:

This study examined decontamination of non-radioactive cesium, strontium and cobalt in a pilot scale model of a drinking water distribution system. The system was outfitted with coupons (excised pipe wall samples) of corroded iron and cement-mortar, which are common distribution system materials. Results from this study were compared with similar decontamination data generated in smaller bench scale experimental systems.
