RE: mailing radioactive material

["Jacobus, John (OD/ORS)" <jacobusj@ors.od.nih.gov>]

But it is not tracked. The registration number is for accounting purposes

incase it is lost and you want to make a claim.  There is no bar coding and

computer entry.   The only thing different is that someone has to sign for

it and you get a postcard back.  Do you actually think they take special

care of it during transit?

If you were to send it as Registered Mail, it would then travel under lock

and key, as well as being tracked
