  • Integrated decontamination and characterization system and method
    Patent number: 6447366
    Abstract: A system for decontaminating and characterizing a structure is provided in which a decontamination module is used to remove interior and exterior surfaces of the structure. The decontamination module is capable of removing surfaces of interior voids or other structure geometry which is difficult to reach. The contaminated portions of the structure are removed as fragments which are collected in a container for disposal. This system may also include a characterization module for analyzing the structure after grit-blasting. The characterization module develops characterization information which may be used to classify the structure as suitable for reuse, for disposal as low-level contaminated waste, or other categories.
