    watch out for that beryllium. It's either white or pink.
    Megatron Health Hazard (Wikipedia)
    ====================
    Some magnetrons have beryllium oxide (beryllia) ceramic insulators, which are dangerous if crushed and inhaled, or otherwise ingested. Single or chronic exposure can lead to berylliosis, an incurable lung condition. In addition, beryllia is listed as a confirmed human carcinogen by the IARC; therefore, broken ceramic insulators or magnetrons should not be directly handled.

    You can also search for "Berrylium Oxide Hazzards" on Youtube for an eye opening overview about how toxic it really is.
