The amount of Na residue to be cleaned is minimized by cooling the reservoir first to ensure that most condensed Na returns to the reservoir. The cell is then removed from the beam line, and the reservoir is then quickly removed from the rest of the cell and plugged. This minimizes oxidation of the useful Na metal left in the reservoir. The rest of the cell is taken over to the ISIS area and disassembled and cleaned in the fume hood..The Na metal is disposed of by spraying a fine mist of water on it. The fume hood must be clear of all inflammable materials, and the worker must wear a lab coat, eye protection and rubber gloves.
