LRE – Cleanup Tactics and Technologies

Current Decontamination Technologies: • Cleaning agents, acids,

foams: • Reduce radiation; do

not eliminate radiation • Most effective on non-

porous surfaces or areas of marginal contamination and/or short-term exposures

• Quickly Clean and reopen CI/KR

Most Effective Wide-Area Cleanup Strategies: a) Roof Replacement b) Soil Removal c) Street and Sidewalk

Surface Removal d) Interior: dispose carpets,

furnishings, possessions, drywall

e) Building demolition if higher contamination
