Radioactive dials must remain sealed. If a glass face is cracked, it must be treated as a hazardous spill.
Used in firefighting foams (AFFF) at bases and sometimes in hydraulic fluids. The EPA provides interim guidance on the destruction and disposal of these persistent chemicals.
Old fighter jets, particularly those from the 1950s through the 1980s, often contain specific radioactive elements used for their unique physical properties:
