[ RadSafe ] Can anyone help on radiological incident project?

[Brad Keck]

Gretchen and All,

He was known as the "radioactive boy scout" and I'll bet either USEPA or MDEQ still have  a public file on the incident, which wasn't all that far from Ann Arbor.  

Here's an update on the "scout" from the web.  

Happy Hunting!

I am also particularly interested in any in house reports that detail isotopes present, radiation measurements made, and the techniques used to do so.
