Abstract

This paper thoroughly introduces the one-stop decontamination and reuse process specific to radioactively contaminated steel, highlighting its key characteristics. By leveraging the data from engineering practice, we conduct a detailed analysis of the effectiveness of various decontamination techniques, including crystalline phase temperature difference gradient decontamination, strippable film decontamination, as well as a novel decontamination agent and its corresponding process. Additionally, we explore the properties of the steel products obtained after melting. It is concluded that this one-stop decontamination and reuse process, supported by advanced technologies, realizes the recycling of radioactively contaminated steel.
