RE: Radioactive vinegar bottle ?!?!
Bill,
Thanks. I guess the next question is, are natural ores greater than 0.05%
uranium? By the way, according to the "Handbook of Chemistry and Physics,"
glass with concentrations of 1% U dating back to 79 AD were found near
Naples, Italy.

10 CFR 40.4 defines "source material" as "...(2) ores which contain by
weight
one-twentieth of one percent (0.05%) or more of: (i) uranium..." Thus, at
some
point in the processing of uranium ore, the natural uranium comes under NRC
regulation.
