All waste created when processing the Thorium rods into filings which will dope the resistive paste will be contained within a portable enclosure. The filings are removed from the enclosure after they have been absorbed by the uncured resistive paste. The uncured resistive paste is a very viscous glue similar to honey which hardens after curing at 100 Celsius.
