Older Turbine Engines

In older turbine engines it is not uncommon for some of the bigger non-ferrous alloy parts (like the metals used for inlet housings and accessory gearboxes) to have a bit of latent radiation.

Enough that when shipping them a special note has to be attached because radiation sensors will go off.

Asbestos was (and sometimes still is) common in clamps and component seals.
