“How do you prevent toxic spills?”
I am a 21 year old male. I was wondering how do you prevent toxic spills? If so, how do you clean it up.

Despite safety precautions occasional spills happen. These are usually low dose isotopes. Much more stringent precautions are taken with high dose isotopes. First, an absorbent sheet is placed over the spill. Traffic is diverted around the spill area. Staff members have their shoes checked with a Geiger counter. Radiation safety officer is called. Wearing protective clothing, the spill is scrubbed until there is no more radiation detected.
