Servicing a contaminated beam line
Small amounts of Na will deposit on beam line components close to the sodium cell after a day or more of operation. This sodium will rapidly convert to NaOH on exposure to the atmosphere and can be wiped away with wet Kimwipes, after removal of the Na cell. Heavier deposits will be seen after several weeks of operation. These can be removed, in situ, by cautiously spraying a fine mist of water on them and wiping up the resulting NaOH solution with Kimwipes. The worker must wear a lab coat, eye protection and rubber gloves.BNMR Web Site 2006-06-29
