The technological process of electrochemical equipment decontamination of nuclear reactor equipment contaminated with radionuclides is developed. As a result of the research the compositions of decontamination solutions, providing extraction of the radionuclides, preservation of the initial state of surfaces and improvememt of their mechanical properties and polishing are determined. Fundamentally new design of the external electrode and technological documentation for its serial production in industrial conditions have been developed.
