RE: Sensorcoat decontamination coating

Use on large areas would provide a large volume of dried paint, more Rad

waste to get rid of.

  Is this a laboratory setting only useful technology or is it to be

deployed in dirty grimy messy nuclear/rad environments?

  Julian,







  Other than the news posting

(http://www.lanl.gov/worldview/news/releases/archive/03-120.shtml) , little

information is provided.  It appears to be



  a stripable paint containing one of many tetrazolium compounds which forms

and insoluble formazan molecule when exposed to radiation.  Most



  of these compounds also react to heat, light, UV etc.  It would be

interesting to see which compound they chose.

    Following up a recent posting on a new decontamination coating used at

Los Alamos, I discovered very little information (through google) other than

the brief news postings from Los Alamos.  This gave its name as

'Sensorcoat'.  I've checked the DOE Decontamination and decommissioning

focus areas, also without success.  I haven't bothered with the DOE Public

Information Bridge as items located here often appear through google.



    Anyone in Radsafe land with more information on this product, links to

useful bits on the web, contact with the manufacturer etc. all would be

welcome.



    Thanks,

           Julian
