Hi All,

Speaking of MSDS and Chemical safety, the WWW has pretty good access 
these now. For more info than you could really want, try the URL of:

-
And with specific activity, the definition I learned is activity per gram of 
that isotope. Often it is mistaken as Activity per gram of that chemical. 
It can lead to large differences in your numbers. Most of the Uranyl 
Compounds will have a activity per gram on the package (~0.02 uCi/g) and 
this is the activity per gram of Uranyl XXXXX (what ever).
