[ RadSafe ] Cylinder Identity Question

[Christina Dillard]

Dear Radsafe listers,

 

I received the below question from one of our members. Any assistance you
may be able to provide in identifying what she actually has would be very
much appreciated.

 

Thank you,

Christina, 

As you are likely on more list-serves than I, I have a small request. We
were cleaning a storeroom and found this cylinder in its box. It is labeled
as a Counting Gas Tank, Model 423, from Nuclear Chicago. I did a search
using Google and found that any info on the company has to do with
Radioactivity. It would be helpful to know exactly what I am dealing with.
Is there any way you can send this out and see if it can be determined what
the contents are? I plan on scanning the cylinder with an Alpha Tester as
well.
