Medical Lead

Looked through the archives and alot of info about radiation in microwaves (when they're running) etc but nothing on this topic.
A friend is remodeling an old medical clinic into an office building and has lead lined walls that were used in the X-ray lab.
Our question of course is pertaining to any possible hazards from such a set up. He wants to take the lead out of the walls and
remodel that area. According to what I read, unless there is a chunk of uranium, we should be fine. Human bodies collect
radiation and give off alarms as I read; just wondered if the lead would be live. Thanks

Lead should be dead no radiation. Many other buyers for lead than a scrap yard...

No worries with the lead. It is heavy as hell, though.. I tore out several sheets from the walls of my office when I remodeled.(old dentists office).

I once got all the metal from a dentists office that was being renovated, the door frames were all lined with lead. After I scrapped everything I started worrying about if the steel was radioactive or not.
