Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014117894A1] The invention relates to a method for the chemical decontamination of a surface, having an oxide layer, of a metallic component part of the coolant system of a nuclear power plant, said method comprising at least one oxidation step, in which the oxide layer is treated with an aqueous solution containing an oxidant, and a subsequent decontamination step, in which the oxide layer is treated with an aqueous solution of a decontamination acid, which has the property of forming, with metal ions, in particular with nickel ions, a poorly soluble precipitate. Prior to implementing the decontamination step, metal ions which have dissolved during the oxidation step are removed from the aqueous solution with the aid of a cation exchanger.
