CONFIRMATION OF G. ANDREWS COMMUNICATION

[ANDRES SINISTERRA <SINISTERRA@sun1.uchc.edu>]

We spoke with the epa today and asked for an interpretation of the 
meaning of "RADIONUCLIDE", they stated that .... "...it is refering to 
the compound or molecule to which the isotope is attached, not the 
element and not the solvent.  Use common sense, if it stays behind 
when boiled then it is not a gas."  So, the "...boils at 100 c or less 
or expected to at 100 c or grater..." is related to the compound.

This interpretation came from the EPA regional office in boston.

Let us know of any other communications you might have had with the 
EPA.

Thanks......!
