[Mercado, Don]

We used to make spacecraft parts out of Mg-Th metal. We shipped them
UN2909.

In the course of waste disposal I have come across thorium in capacitors
and thorium coated optics. These could be shipped using the UN2909
shipping name. I will send you the picture of the capacitors directly if
I can locate it in my email archives.

Can anyone provide examples of articles containing natural uranium or
thorium that could be shipped/transported in an excepted package with a
DOT identification number of UN2908?  Also, if you have any pictures of
the articles or packages containing the articles, and are willing to
share them, that would be helpful.
