Hopefully with the reduced radiation levels, he won't absorb too much before the work is done.
This is a great procedure, Tango. Another bit I've found that helps is that if a coolant line is broken, cut the flow through that line to reduce pressure and save on spillage. I'm not 100% sure this does anything, but you can't refill the system once it's empty so it's worth a shot.
