- radioactive
- Common features include: the ability to use extremely fine or coarse media with densities ranging from plastic to steel, the ability to use hot water and soap to allow simultaneous degreasing and blasting, elimination of dust-so silicacious materials can be used without worry, hazardous material or waste can be removed without danger-e.g., removal of asbestos, radioactive, or other poisonous products from components and structures leading to effective decontamination.
