We are looking for a method of removing fission product surface
contamination from lead bricks without generating an additional problem of
lead contaminated waste.  Any ideas or proven methods would be appreciated.

Larry,
    Try Bartlett Nuclear.  They have a strippable paint which is used to decon
surfaces.  They last time I used it (as a rent-a-tech) it was used to clean the
cavity walls.  It is good for porous surfaces.  ARC used to have a product as
well.  Good luck.
