Barbara:

I am assuming that you need the MSDS information for occupational 
exposure, right-to-know, or waste disposal purposes.

The circuit breakers might not have a MSDS as they are considered articles 
under 29CFR1910.1200.  Even if a MSDS exists for the circuit boards, that 
the ceramic is or is not radioactive is probably not mentioned in the MSDS 
as the standard does not apply to ionizing and non-ionizing radiation:

1910.1200(b)(6)

This section does not apply to:
.
.
.
1910.1200(b)(6)(xi)

Ionizing and nonionizing radiation;...

It has been my experience that manufactures typically do not list their 
products (i.e. grinding wheels, shot blast, salt bath salts, road salts, 
etc.) as being radioactive or containing radioactive materials on MSDSs 
and especially not on products manufactured a decade or more ago.

I AM TRYING TO LOCATE MSDS SHEETS ON CIRCUIT BREAKERS THAT HAVE CERAMIC 
THAT MAY BE RADIOACTIVE. THEY WERE MANUFACTURED BY FEDERAL PACIFIC 
ELECTRIC COMPANY, NOT SURE OF THE DATE. ANYONE HAVE ANY INFORMATION?
