There is a lump that goes from a half inch to through out the neck and ct scans mri and xrays show normal what could this be?

I don't really understand what you mean by "a half inch to through out the neck", but depending on the exact location, it could be a number of things.

If it's on the side of your neck, either below your jaw or just behind your collar bone, it could be a swollen lymph node, which is typically a result of your body fighting off an infection. Typically my lymph nodes will swell up when I have a cough/cold, but they've even grown to golf ball-size when I contracted cat scratch fever.

If its your Adam's apple that is swollen, then it could be a goiter, which is a swollen thyroid gland caused by an iodine deficiency.

Can welders have an MRI?

Firstly all the other situations or medical conditions that would keep someone from having a MRI (Cat) scan still apply to welders.

It could indeed rip right out of the body during the scan. Myself I would be worried about my eyes.

Magnetic Resonance Angiogram

It is used, typically with a slightly radioactive contrast agent injected into the arm, to visualize blood vessels, often in the brain.

Actually the contrast agent isn't radioactive at all (you're thinking of nuclear medicine procedures). It's paramagnetic and can be used to visualise any blood vessel. There are ways of imaging blood vessels without any contrast agent at all, useful if the patient has any problems with their kidney function.
