Digging for lost materials

[Paul Lavely <lavelyp@uclink4.berkeley.edu>]

I am sure that we have all heard stories of licensee's having to go 
to landfills or garbage distribution centers to look (dig) for 
packages or containers of radioactive materials such as P-32, C-14, 
H-3, S-35. Can anyone direct me to or provide references to actual 
cases were a licensee had to "dig" for materials such as these?

Note - I am NOT looking for times when a sealed source was lost and 
promoted a search through trash, incinerators, etc.

You can email me directly if you wish.

Thank you.
