Dear all,

As I know, some Zircon contains radiation level that is
exceed safety level. I want to find information how to reduce the
radiation level of Zircon. Please suggest any website or resource
that is talking about how to reduce the radiation level of Zircon.

1) Synthesize zircon from precursors not contaminated with
actinides.
2) Mine zircon from sources not contaminated with actinides.

Actinide contamination is interstial in zircon. You cannot get it out
without destroying the zircon. Cooking it with neutrons isn't going
to improve anything.
