In some extraordinary way these two were sensitive to beryllium.
Its people have handled beryllium perfectly safely for many years, yet we have had two cases of beryllium poisoning.
I look after a firm which works with beryllium.
I can remember three of these arrangements—optical instruments, magnesium and beryllium.
Uranium and beryllium, at any rate, are closely connected with nuclear reactors.
Nobody knows why so few people are sensitive to beryllium; yet it is so.
Carbon synthesis occurs via a reaction in which two alpha particles unite to form a beryllium nucleus that then combines with another alpha particle to form carbon.
The beryllium designs could be subject to perturbations seeded by the movement of the first shock across the ablator consisting of material with finite grain size.
