While I no longer own or maintain it, I wrote TENORM.COM in 1996. It is still out there and is informative, if not current.

 By the way,   if you're interested in learning about TENORM and  radioactivity associated with fracking, go to the Health Physics Society website at:

  For info, my understanding (I'm not an expert on NORM), this Rolling Stone article is full of errors and misrepresentations. The Health Physics Society prepared a rebuttal letter but I don't believe it'll be published - too much science.  The Health Physics Society has plenty of science-based information on NORM and TENORM on their Ask the Experts website.

Interesting article linked in today's Institute of Hazardous Materials Management (IHMM) IHMM Today on NORM in fracking:
