Semiclean

The "Semiclean" cleanliness group is part of the SNF/ExFab contamination policy.

The following is a list of equipment that fall into the "Semiclean" category.

Equipment name & NEMO ID	Training Required & Charges	Cleanliness	Location	Notes
Fiji 1 ALD fiji1	ALD Fiji 1 and 2 Training	Semiclean	SNF Paul G Allen L107 Cleanroom
