  1. 28. Challenges and solutions for Respiratory Equipment in Beryllium Industry
    Mr Paul Walsh (Sundstrom)
    29/04/2026, 10:40
    Technical Practices

    Specifying the correct respiratory protection equipment (RPE) for environments with potential for beryllium exposure is challenging due to the ultra-low permissible exposure limits (PELs), the high toxicity of the metal, and the need to integrate RPE into a broader, complex control program. Because beryllium causes chronic beryllium disease (CBD) and cancer, RPE must be carefully selected,...

  2. 18. Quantitative Assessment of Particulate Generation in Beryllium Processing Operations at CERN
    Mickael Denis Crouvizier (CERN)
    29/04/2026, 11:00
    Sampling & Analysis

    The CERN Beryllium Facility has developed a comprehensive methodology to quantify particulate generation arising from beryllium processing operations. This study focuses on the measurement of particle production during cutting, turning, precision machining, welding, heat treatment, and chemical processing, with particular attention to airborne, waterborne, and surface-deposited particulates....

  3. 20. Beryllium Health & Safety in Fusion Materials Research and Laboratory Decommissioning at KBHF
    Mr Aniceto GORAIEB (Independent Consultant)
    29/04/2026, 11:20
    Technical Practices

    Beryllium metal has been important in fusion research since the 1980s, first as a plasma-facing material in JET (Joint European Torus). Research progressed on beryllium for use as a neutron- multiplier material in solid breeder-blanket concepts in the designs of magnetically confined fusion machines, such as ITER and DEMO (Demonstration Power Plant). Those investigations included...

  4. 21. The Benefits of Wet Decontamination for the Beryllium Industry
    Daniel Williams (SMH Products)
    29/04/2026, 11:40
    Technical Practices

    Wet decontamination is a critical safety process when dealing with hazardous materials, such as asbestos and beryllium, and includes the use of water and a surfactant to wash away contaminants during and after high-risk works. Wet decontamination is one of the preferred processes when dealing with dangerous materials as it is the only method with the ability to remove ground in materials and...
