Decon of old rusty material

[MARK WINSLOW <WINSLOW.MARK@epamail.epa.gov>]

One of my sites in northwestern NY is
contaminated with uranium.  I'm going up there
week after next to try a test decon of metal
machinery.  

My plan is to use a wire brush attached to a
hand drill.   My plan is to use the brush with
some soap and water.

I was wondering if any of the more experienced
people out there had any "pearls of wisdom"
with this method and could offer some advice. 
Also if someone has some better ideas please
tell.
