Is there is any institution on the Safety Net interested in the procurement of
several 1 Curie Plutonium-Beryllium sources?  I need to get rid of at least
three sources so that I can dump our NRC Special Nuclear Materials License.
We're on the Los Alamos (DOE) PuBe source collection list, but I fear it will
be years before they get around to us.  Apparently they will only accept
sources in the shipping containers that they provide, and the last I heard
they only had one or two containers!

SDSU will provide shipping, proper storage containers, source documentation,
leak test results (and dinner for two) to those parties interested.  Please
post a message here if you  or someone you know would like to own a PuBe
source.  I can also be reached at (619) 594-6098.
