There was a recent article in Radwaste
Solutions magazine that talked about the number of facilities around the world
using RAM in various applications. The article was written by Michele
Laraia of the IAEA on small nuclear facilities worldwide.

Subject: Re: Research using RAM
Do you know if the Campus Radiation
Safety Officers (CRSO) group (www.crso.org)
keeps track of these things? I would think they would have as good a handle on
the research at their institutions as anyone.
Getting down to the level of
looking at government research and private, commercial research would be a real
bear ... I know we've licensed a lot of agricultural research, mostly using
C-14, here in Georgia ... as I'm sure other states and the NRC have ... but
putting all that together would be a horrendous task.
My $0.013 worth (discounted from
$0.02 worth ... it's been a long day!)

Hi all: here's an off the wall question.
Does anyone know of a government agency or scientific body that maintains a
list,i.e. titles, of all research that involved the use of radioactive
materials? Even a partial list would be cool. Such a list could be
a powerful tool when showing the benefits of RAM. If somebody could give
me even a decent guess at how many science studies have used RAM, that would be
of use. It has to be in the hundreds of thousands, maybe millions.
I was looking at UCLA's present day use of RAM in research and I am guessing we
have at least a thousand studies going on which use RAM. Can you imagine
the number world wide? Whew!
