We recently completed a cleanup project involving DU in solution.  The DU was 
stored in oil, which over time converted into an acid and dissolved the DU.  The
contractor, in cooridnation with the University of California at Berkley 
developed a process in which we were able to separate the DU out of solution.  
The Company is ATG, Inc located in Fremont, CA.  I would call Mike Wilson or 
Frank Chu for assistance.  Phone number is 510-651-3731...mike coogen sends

Hi,

I'm looking for some suggestions about drain disposal.  Yes, 
94-07.  We have compiled tons of information about the 
solubility of the labelled compounds in our drums awaiting 
disposal.  We do have drums with small amounts of 
"insoluble" labelled compounds.  We are hoping to filter 
these drums before disposal.  Has anyone been doing this? 
Any suggestions on filter size and the most effective 
disposal setups?  Any information would be helpful.

     Thanks in advance,
               Patrick

          P.S.  Ira said I should brag about coming in
second (gross and net) at the HPS meeting's golf tournament 
yesterday.  I should have won.  Next year.
