Dismantling the Bevatron is a delicate task, since most of the shielding blocks are still radioactive.

If you meet him, make sure to pronounce his last name as "bigboo-TAY" - he's kinda sensitive about it... Posted by BigPoppaMikey 7/11/2004 1:11 AM | remove   Buckaroo might be there somewhere too... Posted by Samurai 7/15/2004 11:11 PM | remove   i'm glad i am not the only one weel-versed in the classics!!! :o) Posted by SnArF 9/17/2004 5:32 PM | remove   The blue dot means radioactive, right? Posted by CrazyMinerBob 9/18/2004 5:03 AM | remove   Probably not (at least officially). It might have been a tag of some sort used by the riggers dismantling the Bevalac. Radioactive material is marked with the trefoil symbol, or is segregated behind a barrier of sorts (alpha rope, anyone?). Posted by greywolf45 9/20/2004 6:06 AM | remove   Blue, no.I think the international color for anything radioactive is crimson, or purple. I'll check and see. Posted by greywolf45 9/20/2004 6:31 AM | remove   I am trying to find my Haz-Mat manual. In it there are the color codes for every kind of hazardous material, including anything radioactive.When i find them, i'll post the info. Posted by CrazyMinerBob 9/20/2004 6:22 PM | remove   Radioaction hazard signs are purple (or sometimes black) on a yellow background. Posted by greywolf45 9/21/2004 6:02 AM | remove   Thanks Bob. I wasn't sure, it's been a while since i hauled any of this stuff. Posted by Rust 1/7/2007 8:06 PM | remove   If this stuff was radioactive it wouldnt be sitting out in the open like this. Posted by CrazyMinerBob 2/1/2007 2:41 AM | remove   It's not uncommon to find low-level stuff sitting out, but it's generally roped off and in a controlled area (and the particles aren't high energy).
