[ RadSafe ] Seriously Scary Radioactive Products From The 20thCentury

[Dan McCarn]

Dear Franz:

Back in the early '80s, I provided the Museum of Natural History in Vienna
the entire radioactive mineral collection from the DOE Operations, Grand
Junction, Colorado. These rare and beautiful specimens were in the display
cases at the main entrance of Grand Junction Operations and provided to the
Austrian Government from the US DOE via the IAEA where I worked. Many had
historical significance dating back to Madame Curie's mines in the Colorado
Plateau.

Best!

Dan ii
