Soil Rad Decon

The Quick Decon Solution (QDS) being used at Fukushima in Japan on contaminated soil

QDS and Soil Decontamination

In the wake of the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, one of the most pressing challenges has been the decontamination of soil and surrounding environments. The incident released significant amounts of radioactive materials, necessitating urgent and effective soil decontamination solutions. Among the innovative approaches employed, Quick Decon™  solutions (QDS Decon; supplied by RT Technologies, Inc; Atlanta, GA) have emerged as a safe, fast and cost saving method in restoring safety and environmental integrity in affected areas.

​

After the nuclear disaster, large areas around Fukushima were rendered unsafe due to radioactive contamination. This contamination posed serious health risks to local communities and the environment. The presence of radioactive isotopes in the soil not only affected agricultural practices but also created long-term challenges for habitation and wildlife.

​

The soil in and around Fukushima varies widely in composition and contamination levels. Quick Decon solutions are adaptable, allowing them to be customized for different sites and conditions. This flexibility is crucial for addressing the diverse contamination challenges presented by the disaster.
