Decontamination of radioisotopes
Decontamination procedures must start from the periphery of the contaminated area and move towards the center. Care must be taken to ensure that, in any case, contaminated washings are allowed to run onto uncontaminated areas. The procedure should begin with soap and water, if this fails, a weak detergent may be used.
