ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE: Tools, equipment and weapons contaminated with radio- active, toxin, biological and/or chemical contaminants are deposited in a cleaning chamber and are sprayed with a sol- vent under high pressure. The solvent dislodges particulate contaminants and dissolves chemical agent contaminants and the solvent so sprayed containing both suspended and dis- solved contaminants is drained to a distillation means. Within the distillation means there is a neutralizing agent which deactivated the biological and toxin contaminants and chemically oxidized the chemical contaminants removed from the item being decontaminated in the cleaning chamber. Pure solvent vapor generated in the distillation means is con- densed to a solvent tank for reuse in the spraying operation for further decontamination. Drying of the tool, equipment or weapon being decontaminated is accomplished by circulating hot, unsaturated solvent vapor through the cleaning chamber and about the item being decontaminated. The present inven- tion is practiced at a pressure below atmospheric to prevent the escape of contaminants to the atmosphere should leaks develop. -28-
