RE: " Nuclear reactor not necessary for medicine: doctors "

["Stewart Smith" <sssmith@scientech.com>]

In spite of reassurances to the contrary, I found that some of the shipments

of RAM from overseas sources had radiological contaminants in them. Some

were significant enough to have the anticipated dose recalculated by the

physicians prior to administration by the diagnostic/therapeutic radiology

dept. at a major university & associated hospital. I did not find the same

contaminants from "home grown" sources.

Not in our backyard!!  You can now import it from The Netherlands, Belgium,

Russia, South Africa and who knows where else.

This was the DOE's position when they closed down the ACRR at Sandia and

said that Mo99/Tc99 could always be mported from Canada.
