Curious, what is the radioactivity after reluming?

Theoretically it should stay radioactive but at least the risk of degradation and inhaling radon should be small.

I did not explain well what I did: I removed all the old stuff, and then applied fresh lumen. Therefore no radioactivity is found.

+1 important to remember this. Particularly when trying to disassemble.
