[ RadSafe ] Cutting radioactive Iron

[Flanigan, Floyd]

Use a good 5000 HEPA unit with a spark arrestor on it and be prepared to change the filter frequently. This can get expensive but affords a good level of protection from airborn. Make sure the distance of the hose end is within a span equal to or less than the diameter of the hose from the work.

I am looking for HP types who have experience with  cutting large low level radioactive scrap type iron pieces with  torches etc. We are considering this operation and am interested in radiological controls used.

Contact Jim at Jallan at SLAC.stanford.edu

Thank you
