There was much debate and study on the methods and materials to be used in the segregation of 'untainted hardtech' instruments and materials in the Miranda starship.
Many methods were tried, many materials. Most of these were a failure, with 'Wavium gleefully soaking into the material and upgrading it or changing it, until one lab assistant stumbled upon the currently-used method.
While the processing core and computer operations practice a physical and electronic segregation, the primary method of protecting the unWaved gear is the method discovered on April 1st of 2009, and it's a very simple method.
Ask.
The current procedure involves a list kept in the ship's AI, and every morning, the senior officers of the Miranda go to main engineering, stand in front of the intermix chamber, and ask, simply and politely, that the 'Wave leave these pieces of equipment alone, thank you.
And it works. Perfectly. Due care is still taken to prevent any of the listed items from being 'dunked' in a 'wavetank, but by and large, a little politeness is all that is needed..
