MEDIA AND PRELIMINARY NOTIFICATIONS

[putnam%nihrsb.dnet@dxi.nih.gov]

I think there seems to be a mix-up at for those of us at RADSAFE today.  I 
noticed a lot of mention about 579uCi. OF P-32.  I think you must be refering 
to the MIT incident not the NIH incident.  If you all read the PNO it listed 
the person that had internal contamination was a male.  Therefore (hopefully)
pregnancy should not be an issue.  The MIT incident did not seem to occur 
during an inspection either.
