Dear PEPPo Collaborator:
"Good" news - Lead bricks are becoming harder to find; so I am pleased
that today Riad and I moved our 300 lead bricks to temporary storage at
the PEPPo installation area in the injector. They're available for
shielding come late summer.
"Bad" news - Riad and I have taken our turn moving the 6000 lbs. of
lead, so now it may be *yours*. :) By ~August we significantly more
people should be trained to move & stack many lead bricks. If you sense
you are one of those who may be doing this then please take care to:
1. Schedule lead handling SAF136 with Dick Owen, Mary Boggs or
Jennifer Williams, pass the exam, but fit for an air-purifying
respirator and have your sponsor/supervisor sign off that you need this.
2. Schedule medical evaluation MED13 with Johnie Banks to ensure you
may wear a respirator.
-Joe
