RE: Plasma Torch Cutting

["Redmond, Randy (RXQ)" <redmondrr@Y12.doe.gov>]

 Dave,  I have seen plasma torch cutting release a WHOLE lot of iodine from

reactor piping - who would have thought such a thing!  This happened at

Point Beach in the early 80's. Of course, if you aren't cutting reactor

piping, you probably don't have an iodine problem.

We are doing some work using a plasma cutter on contaminated stainless

steel and would like to discuss lessons learned with others who have

used this method.



One of the main questions is:  What were your ratios of airborne

contamination concentrations in the work area to contamination levels on

the cut surfaces?



If your interested in a discussion, contact me directly at

Thanks
