decay chamber

Sounds more technical than "decay room," which is also used.
Peer comment(s):
agree jccantrell : This one for hospitals uses 'decay room': http://www.epa.gov/oppt/library/pubs/archive/acct-archive/pu...

agree Sabine Voigt : Decay room. Decay chamber can also be part of a contraption used to dispose of your radioactive waste, so it is not necessarily a room.

cooling area/room

Nur, falls es physikalisch um Abkühlung handelt. Ansonsten paßt "decay ..:" besser. Wenn es das "Becken" sein soll, sagt die IAEA dazu "cooling pond."
