A simple mathematical model is presented describing the time evolution of radiation fields in a pressurized heavy-water reactor (PHWR) upon removal of the main radionuclide source (in-situ activated Stellite in-core components). The model is also extended to analyze the recontamination behavior of critical components after they are decontaminated. The basic properties of the materials, including their...
