[ RadSafe ] radium source questions

[BLHamrick at aol.com]

It is very likely you are referring to the NRC-supported Sealed Source and  
Device database.  I'm not sure that they ever had radium sources registered  
there (since it is not AEA material), but in any case, the database is  no 
longer open to the public.

Previously on Radsafe someone posted the URL of a US based site where  it  
was 
possible to obtain details of the source design if you knew  the manufacturer 
 
and the reference used for the type of the  source.  Unfortunately, despite  
having searched the archives, I  can find the address.  If someone has it  
could 
they post it to  me.  Does anyone know if this resource is still  'publicly'  
available or has it been lost due to concerns about 'dirty   bombs'.  If it 
is 
no longer publicly available could someone provide  the  details so that I 
can 
make a formal request through my employer  for possible  information on the 
sources we have for  disposal.
