Research on large-scale decontamination methods and design criteria for decontamination stations in emergency scenarios of off-site nuclear accidents

With the development of China’s nuclear power industry, the construction of emergency decontamination stations for nuclear accidents has received high attention from the industry, and a unified construction standard has not yet been formed within the industry. As an important facility for off-site emergency response in nuclear power plants, the decontamination station can ensure the safety of personnel in severe accidents, and provide decontamination for evacuees, vehicles, and equipment, thereby preventing the spread of radioactive substances. This article applies the idea of “Combination of Peacetime and Wartime” to elaborate on the process and methods of decontamination, radioactive detection technology, as well as the area division, facility layout, and sewage collection of emergency decontamination stations.
