Description
Extraction and processing of radioactive materials for use in industry can be difficult and hazardous work at best, with many standard mining techniques often treating such materials as waste byproducts that are better disposed of in space. Always on the look out for ways to increase the profitability of their mining and materials harvesting operations, ORE has established a specialist Radioactives Reclamation unit, equipped with dedicated harvesting and transport ships, to exploit dangerous and difficult to work radioactive materials. Radioactives Reclamation Specialists are easily recognised by the vivid "radioactive green" highlighting on the otherwise standard blue and grey of their protective goggles. The goggles are designed to protect the eyes against various forms of radiation but, like the suits the specialists wear, also incorporate a repulsion field shielding the head from any radiation, particles or loose dust given off by the materials the wearer may be handling in the course of their work.
