Decontamination of Radionuclides from Concrete by Microwave Heating. I: Theory
2003
Journal of engineering mechanics
The paper analyzes a proposed scheme of decontamination of radionuclides from concrete structures, in which rapid microwave heating is used to spall off a thin contaminated surface layer. The analysis is split in two parts: ͑1͒ the hygrothermal part of the problem, which consists in calculating the evolution of the temperature and pore pressure fields, and ͑2͒ the fracturing part, which consists in predicting the stresses, deformations and fracturing. The former is assumed to be independent of
