     You can assure that if an Investigator uses our favorite compound, it 
     will probably be with a susbtance that will make it a mixed 
     waste...experience speaking....we as health physicist always seek the 
     most conservative path that will aviod the least probability of 
     liability...mike coogen

     Uranyl Acetate rolls on --
     
     Isn't it interesting that in the RQ table, the asterick beside Uranyl 
     Acetate  indicates that this material "appears by name in the 
     Hazardous Materials Table", however, in my version of 49CFR172.101, 
     Hazardous Materials Table, the table goes from Uranium Metal, 
     pyphoric, Class 7, UN 2979 to Uranyl nitrate hexahydrate solution, 
     class 7, UN 2980 (1992 version - if someone has a newer version, 
     please let me know!).  Wonder what happened?
