        In a nuclear facility, the base metal can be radiologically contaminated during the operation. They must be decontaminated to reduce the radiation exposure to workers before decommissioning of the nuclear facility. In order to decontaminate the nuclear facility, it is possible to apply a perfluorocarbon (PFC) based emulsion consisted of surfactant and decontamination reagent. The PFC has high resistance for the radiation decomposition, and PFC based emulsion can be easily stabilized using the ultrasonication method. During decontamination process, a dispersion stability of the emulsion affects to the decontamination performance because the decontamination reagents dispersed in the emulsion contact contaminated surface. In this study, the dispersion stability the PFC based emulsion was evaluated following the composition of the emulsion and dispersion condition such as temperature, ultrasonication time. It was confirmed that the concentration of surfactant is highly related to the dispersion stability from the result of Turbiscan analysis using the multiple light scattering method. It was also verified that the droplet size of the decontamination reagent in the stable emulsion was smaller than that in the unstable emulsion. This phenomena can be explained by the relationship between the interfacial tension and droplet size. Finally, the recovering test of the PFC from the spent PFC-based decontamination emulsion was conducted using distillation method. The distillation test was performed using vacuum distillation unit, and the distillation temperature was 80°C. From the distillation test, about 95 % of PFC was recovered by distillation. From this result, it is considered that PFC-based decontamination emulsion reduces the volume of the secondary waste.
