Abstract:  
The roto peening flap is one of the most versatile tools in the surface finishing industry. Many of our readers in the aerospace industry are familiar with it-military and civilian aviation mechanics use roto peening flaps in small hand-held tools to remove and stress relieve gouges, scrapes and corrosion in critical, hard-to-reach areas like helicopter rotors. Now we would like to introduce you to an application for "heavy duty" roto peen flaps-removing radiologically contaminated coatings from concrete surfaces in nuclear reactors.
