Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Barriers: B7-Barriers to P2 B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. |
S12: Future designs will use less lead material for the machines. Source Reduction - Engineering will work to minimize use of lead shielding per each machine, but not to compromise safety. Barriers to P2: B7 - No known substitutes or alternative technologies. - Although efforts will be made to reduce of lead usage, lead is still the proper material used for radiation safety. |

Barriers to P2 - This facility manufacturers x-ray machines of various sizes. The lead we use is in solid form and does not produce any emissions or discharges to the environment. Almost all lead entering the facility leaves as an article component except for some sheet lead used in R&D and some unusable scrap (including leaded-vinyl curtain material). Decomissioned machines are typically sent out as scrap metal (though none were disposed of in 2011 in that manner). |
