Innovative Technology Summary Report: Paint Scaler. Deactivation and Decommissioning Focus Area.

DE2002769193

Publication Date	2000
Page Count	34
Abstract	The United States Department of Energy (DOE) continually seeks safer and more cost-effective technologies for decontamination and decommissioning (D&D) of nuclear facilities. To this end, the Deactivation and Decommissioning Focus Area (DDFA) of the DOEs Office of Science and Technology sponsors large-scale demonstration and deployment projects (LSDDPs). This demonstration investigated the feasibility of using the Bosch Rotary Hammer Drill (innovative technology) to collect samples where handheld tools (baseline) are currently being used on D&D activities. The Paint Scaler can collect paint samples quickly and efficiently for lab analysis. The Rotary Hammer Drill is a 24-V battery operated, 3/4-in. rotary hammer drill. When used with an optional chipping adapter, the Bosch Rotary Hammer Drill can be used to perform chipping and chiseling tasks such as paint removal from either concrete or metal surfaces. It is ultra-compact, lightweight with an ergonomic balanced grip. The battery operation gives the operator more flexibility during sampling activities.
