RE: traces of enriched uranium in the Balkens
Tom,
I haven't been following very closely but one of the articles posted that I
skimmed mentioned that because it might be weapons byproduct there might be
Plutonium. Is that just the lay person's confusion about things
fissionable? They think that if it has to do with a weapon the fissionable
material must be deadly Plutonium?
Any opinions expressed are mine alone and do not necessarily represent

Subject: traces of enriched uranium in the Balkens
Radsafers,
I have tried to send an e-mail out about an AP wire report that they have
detected traces of enriched uranium. They believe it so because there are
traces of U 236 in samples taken along with depleted uranium.
This might be some DOE uranium because of the trace of U235. Try getting
the article from yesterday's world news. It is very interesting and
potentially going to be sensationalized.
