Re[2]: Americium/Beryllium Source



     A second source can be obtained from the Conference of Radiation 
     Control Program Directors, Inc., 205 Capital Avenue, Frankfort, KY 
     40601, (502) 227-4543.  Ask for the current CRCPD Brokers List.  It 
     provides a listing of some agencies and companies that will purchase 
     the unwanted source, or broker it for recycling to someone who does.

Disposal of unwanted neutron sources is a problem for university and 
industry.  The DOE has run a program of Pu-239/Be source recovery for 
several years.  The DOE program is preparing to expand its scope to 
Am-241/Be and Pu-238/Be sources.  For more information contact:
