Re: List of materials containing naturally occurring nuclides

[Sarah_Hayes@student.uml.edu (Sarah Hayes)]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that the lantern
mantles manufactured today contain thorium in them.  The Reactor Sharing
Program at UMass Lowell has several packets of these mantles in their
"demo" kit, and thorium is actually listed on the package contents of the
older mantles, whereas the newer packages don't list this "ingredient".
