Gawd knows that we're very expensive. Really really expensive, but could one of the other DOE sites do it for you? I know that here in Los Alamos, we do some things with everything. We machine lots of heavy metals for various reasons, perhaps Cd is already in our wastestream?

Thanks for chiming in. As soon as I saw your user ID, I thought "oh, yeah! Los Alamos!".
The only other DOE facility that has shown any interest is INL, but I don't think it is going to bear much fruit. We had a meeting with our internal F&O people last week about developing the capability to do the machining here on site. You're right - it will be expensive, but we don't really have a choice.
We just got a quote back for some beryllium. Talk about expensive!!
