NIH P)32 CONTAMINATION INCIENT
RADSAFERs-
In an effort to keep the HP community updated and to answer some
RADSAFER questions, below this message are two Preliminary
Notifications that were recently issued by the NRC regarding the
contamination incident and ongoing Augmented Inspection Team
effort at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD. Since
there is an ongoing investigation, I will only be able to
transmit public information that is already in the Public
Document Rooms, but thought that it would be helpful to you all.
