When Plasma Arch torch cutting Tc-99 mixed with U-235 /238
Are there any unforseen Industrail Hazards or Radiological Hazards
that require special consideration.
Example. It gives off a (ohmygodneum1100 ) Product When heated or cut with a torch and you should use these guide lines @#$%^^ $%^&&@# to control^%$$@#& and Prevent @#$%^&*.
Example. It has a $%&*@# and special @#$%^ controls must be used to control @#$%^& or YOU WILL FIND IT IN THE PET HAMSTER AT YOUR HOUSE.
Normal engineering and administrative controls have been in the evaluation.
I am looking for the (gotcha) . But ALL replys are welcome.
Many thanks in advance

My two cents:
When cutting Uranium (which is pyrophoric), some of the uranium could be vaporized. Which gives the material a smaller particle size. Which makes it slightly more harmful to your innards, and harder to protect against with a respirator. Just make sure you are using a dual cartridge, for vapors and HEPA. Also, use a HEPA unit as much as possible to suck the vapors away from the worker.
