[ RadSafe ] Radioactive medicine being tracked through rivers

[Richard Hester]

Interesting - I had some I-131  Thyroid ablation treatments a few years 
back and the doctor warned me not to use disposable forks, spoons, etc. 
for a while after the dose., as these have at times tripped portal 
monitors at disposal sites, causing a ruckus for everyone concerned.
