[ RadSafe ] Fwd: 2 MeV+ Proton Beam Access

[JPreisig at aol.com]

Jake/Radsafe:
 
     I think the University of Washington has a Van de  Graaff.  Idaho 
State U. has numerous electron accelerators, and possibly a  proton machine or 
two.  University of Oregon has some Van de  Graaff's.
 
    Again also look at the medical proton machine  option.

Thank  you for the suggestions! I'm actually located in Washington (Seattle
area)  and that's where the testing is based out of. I'll definitely look
into the  options back east though for later in the year should we not find
a  resource in this area.
