Cs and a question, if you please

[NiagaraNet@AOL.COM]

Hello RADSAFERS:



Does anyone know what a Cesium "Gap" or "Cap" was from the early weapons 

days?  Was it from the early weapons days?

I'm interested that is, ONLY IF THIS INFORMATION IS NOT STILL CLASSIFIED.

IF SO, please ignore this request.



The Cs137 found in this area was from these Gaps-Caps, as they (whatever 

these items were), were found at two locations in Niagara County. One location was 

the former Lake Ordnance Works located a few miles N of Niagara Falls and the 

other location was "on the surface and a few inches below" at the school on 

the Love Canal within the city of NF, NY.



Some people have mentioned that this "device" was associated with Krytrons.

To the National Security Folks-I AM NOT TRYING TO BUILD ANYTHING OTHER THAN A 

STORY.

Any information would be helpful.

Please respond without attachments.



Thanks and best,

Lou R.
