Decontamination of wood -Reply

Larry,
    Re: your contaminated wood.  I have heard of power plants using power
planers to remove any surface contamination.  You still will have a small
volume of waste to dispose of, but much less.

Howdy, I have a minor problem with contamination (probably MFP) of a piece
of framing lumber used in one our lab areas.  Does anyone have any ideas
as to what might be used to remove this contamination short of disposal, 
or sealing in.
