[ RadSafe ] closure of Brookhaven Lab, NY?

[Andycgeo at aol.com]

The EML laboratory part of DOE closed down about 5-6 years ago and had  
become part of Homeland Security. There is no radiochemistry or radiation  
physics departments any longer. Also there are no Radon chamber facilities  
where I did my radon related research for more than 30 years. The number of  
employees is down to 30 people from the more than 100 that worked in the 1980s  
and 1990s. 
 
The reality is that radiation research and radiation safety and  innovation 
is in a sorry state.

Dear  Radsafe,

Hope  you all are well.  What the heck is all  this babbling  
about????!!!!  There is a whole 
Environmental Safety and Health  Division/Department at Brookhaven Lab. and 
  
associated
radiation/health physics programs.  See their  website.

If you can't find what you are  looking  for on the BNL website, send 
email to radsafe
with  further questions about what you need and I will help you out.
A   National Lab out on Long Island with 3000 workers and many  acres of  
land without
some sort of radiation lab/counting facility???  What  planet are you  
people from????

Please  tell me EML in New York City has not  really closed...

I  can't  answer the question as I don't know.  I know the EML Lab  closed 
years  ago.  I will check further.

Thanks Jim for clarifying that.  Do  you know where the standards/records 
are 
as I am not aware of  that at all?  We do know that we received a few 
standards from EML  that was closed 5  years ago or so.

To expand  on my previous answer; the radiochemistry section closed  about 
5  
years ago.  In fact, WEAC received several standards from the   lab at that 
time.  The facility is still home to several other  DOE  activities such as 
the RAP team.

Hi  Brian
Can you  tell me if the radiological laboratory in Brookhaven  L.I., NY 
still  
operational? I am under the impression that it  closed down a few years  
ago.

Thanks
