That's interesting. The reason they use lead is that it does not readily absorb radiation especially in short exposures, so how putting a symbol on it makes it somehow dangerous is just silly. Gotta love the pin heads that think this stuff up, but I digress.
I have several hundred pounds of lead from those above mentioned containers. It's not pure lead. It's quite a bit harder. I use it for making pistol bullets and it's perfect for that.[/QUOT
It's not that they ,"absorb radiation", it is because some times the liquid product it is shielding us from gets spilled or otherwise contaminated by the user. Ask me how I know this one,LOL. Some of the radiation materials we used can last for many years. It is very wise to check those type containers for left over material that you probably could not even see. Thank goodness that Technologist was not lazy.
I believe a new lead production facility opened near Kansas City in the past year. If you can't look it up, I'll contact someone who will know.does anyone know of a domestic source of lead?
