Anyways the large haydron colliders accelorator ALICE uses Be uses a beryllium beam-pipe. Because if Be's low atomic numer, it is almost transparent to energetic particles. Therefore one uses Be in the beam pipe arround the collision region in collider particle physics. | Anyways the large haydron colliders accelorator ALICE uses Be uses a beryllium beam-pipe.

===Used in the EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) Toolkit=== | |||
Used for saftly removing old Naval Mines and Ieds. Using Beryllium Copper CuBe, it is an alloy of of copper and 0.5% to 3% Berylliym. This substance is non magnetic, and will not spark. 2 key features in Bomb dismantlement. [http://www.chemie.de/lexikon/e/Beryllium_copper/ Beryllium Copper info] | |||
Beryllium is non-magnetic. Therefore, beryllium-based tools are used by military naval EOD-personnel when working on or around naval mines, as these often have fuzes that detonate on direct magnetic contact or when influenced by a magnetic field. | |||
Cathrine Hardwick won Best Picture and was the first women to win an oscar for Best Directing for her film on an EOD squad in Iraq called the Hurt Locker. |
