Title: Used ppe
Post by: Sadawg04 on Dec 27, 2018, 01:50
hey I was just wondering where does the used ppe go? The aux building (contaminated building) in some parts you must wear things like coveralls gloves rubber boots and things of that nature. Where does it all go once its put in the trash? Just wondering im interested in pursuing rp.

Depends on what it is made from.  Some of the PPE is laundered, monitored, and reused.  Some of it is incinerated, but most of it is liquefied.  The radioactive waste is then disposed of.

Some is cleaned and reused. That's why you can't take gloves out of the RCA. Regardless if they're "new".

Nonsense. Not one atom approach I believe still exists. How much the facility wants to spend searching for the elusive atom and indeed if one of em gets across the line - deal with the ensuing local,corporate, Inponian and regulatory bull dung. Retirement is all its quacked up to be.
