Sr 90 in paint
I heard an interesting story today from a friend of mine regarding the use
of Sr/Y 90 as an additive in paint used on aircraft in the Air Force. He
did not know the reason that Sr/Y was used or how much was added to the
paint.
Has anyone else heard of the Air Force using Sr/Y 90 as a paint additive?
If so, why was it used and in what concentrations? Was there sufficient
quantities to create contamination concerns when the paint was removed?
