A new Decontamination and Refurbishment Facility (DRF) has been specially-designed and built at Kinectrics to meet the specific needs of the nuclear industry. Licensed for specific work activities by the CNSC, the DRF is a dedicated area for the refurbishment, repair and decontamination of active plant equipment and components. Configured as a simple, large, open workspace, the DRF provides a complete, secure environment—with added flexibility to meet a wide range of industry needs .

Decontamination

When full decontamination of equipment is required, Kinectrics technicians, working in concert with your technical experts, will provide comprehensive services to ensure the safe, successful disassembly and decontamination of internal components and surfaces. Typical equipment to be processed would include valves, pumps, motors, and tools. 

Repair and Refurbishment

In some cases, decontamination for free release may not be possible or necessary. In these circumstances, maintenance on components can take place in the DRF—supervised by fully-qualified Kinectrics’ radiation safety personnel—before the equipment is returned to service. Testing and validation of contaminated components can also be safely conducted within the licensed facility before return to service. Typical equipment would include valves, pumps, motors, heat-exchangers, and tooling. 

Radioactive Waste Management

The Kinectrics Decontamination and Refurbishment Facility is an ideal location for work involving the consolidation and solidification of contaminated waste prior to its disposal. Kinectrics can also provide extensive expertise to assist in the proper handling and disposal of waste materials produced by the decontamination and maintenance of active equipment.
