I am sure if this person really wanted to learn about Tc-99 that they would
come here .. instead it was posted to DU Watch .. a list just full of
radiation "experts", but do feel free to comment.  You can even join DU
Watch at Yahoo Groups or respond directly to piotr.bein at imag.net - he
probably is seriously interested in the subject.
