Decontamination of Pu facilities

[jhensley@gnn.com (Jerry R. Hensley)]

I have been assigned the task of assisting with the decontamination 
and possible dismantling of a retired Pu facility.  I am seeking 
advice (no condolences please) and proven methods of decontaminating 
and/or fixing alpha contamination in place.  I have had the honor of 
working with Pu/Am in the past, but I always welcome any good 
advice.  

Areas that would be beneficial are: "Vacuum Blasting" technology and 
products that could be sprayed or introduced as a vapor to attach to 
the contamination and reduce the airborne contamination levels with 
out loading HEPA prefilters and that will not readily dry out.  

Send advice or equipment recommendations to:
