     No Barbara - not losing it.  As a matter of fact, that is one of the 
     teaching topics in the NRC Workshop on SS&D.  Passed that same info on 
     the Jeffrey via direct line.

I can not be certain about this, but I believe that a problem with the 
degradation of High Dose Rate Afterloader source assemblies a few years ago 
was related to the fact that they were shipped in teflon containers.  Does 
this ring a bell with anyone else, or am I slowing losing it?
