This is an update of my message. We are planning some work using torches (non-plasma) to cut contaminated pipes and metal plates. From all we can find, normal torches will not vaporize or pulverize the Cs-137 contaminated material enough to bypass the HEPA filters on a respirator.
Does anyone have information about this topic one way or another. Please respond directly to me.
