I'm not aware of anyone in the U.S. who still dry cleans protective clothing. The problem is that the process generally produces mixed (hazardous and radioactive) waste for which no disposal facility is available. I'd be interested in hearing about any dry cleaning process which is environmental friendly. The opinions expressed are strictly mine. It's not about dose, it's about trust.

I would like to communicate with commercial nuclear power folks who have experience (Pros + Cons) with utilizing the dry cleaning process to decontaminate protective clothing.
