[ RadSafe ] Can anyone help on radiological incident project?

[Schwarz, Jon]

The name of the book on the subject is "The Radioactive Boy Scout" by Ken Silverstein.  The book says that EPA responded and cleaned up the site.

Subject: [ RadSafe ] Can anyone help on radiological incident project?

I am currently studying Radiological Health Engineering at the University of Michigan under Dr. Kim Kearfott.

I am involved in a group project about the August 31, 1994 incident in Commerce twp., where David Hahn built a 'home-made' nuclear reactor.

I know the media has a lot of information about the incident out there, but am looking for more official reports-such as who were the first responders, how was the situation handled, was any radiation measured, and who handled the final clean up of the area.  I am also particularly interested in any in house reports that detail isotopes present, radiation measurements made, and the techniques used to do so.

Again, I realize this was a while back, but if my 'digging' allows me to request copies of any official reports, it would help me tremendously!

Any advice on who else I may contact regarding information on this incident is also welcome.

Thanks for any help!!
