A plasma torch includes a distal part (4) immersed in a container (43) to be decontaminated. A plasma jet (44) produced by sudden discharge of a capacitor between main electrodes (9,11) sweeps directly or by reflection or by sweep-over the whole internal surface of the container (43). The gas exhaust is preferably controlled by a valve (47) operating by gravity on the orifice (42) of the container. The torch is useful for intense decontamination, in particular at a high rate, using an extremely brief and intense plasma flash. |
