     To Kevin Scott:
     
     Because I did not find your E-mail address (our system does not always 
     include everything), I am sending this out to RADSAFE (others may want 
     this information anyway).
     
     The Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors, 205 Capital 
     Avenue, Frankfort, KY  40601  502/227-4543 maintains a listing of 
     brokers and interested persons who might have a use for the set you 
     described.  The officer in charge is Terry DeVine, PhD, although I am 
     not sure he is so awfully worried about the PhD part.  Give them a 
     call, they may be able to help you dispose of the set, and there could 
     even be someone out there interested in purchasing the set from you 
     who is not a RADSAFE subscriber.
     
     Good luck in disposing of the sources.

Dear Radsafers:
I've come across some Eduquip Inc. Radioactive Material Sets.  I guess they were
     
used in an educational setting to test which of the materials caused exposure on
     
a photographic plate.  This was then verifed by the students using a Geiger 
counter on the materials.  The materials that are radioactive include: Uranium 
Sulfate, Uranium Nitrate, and Thorium Nitrate.  Does anyone out in Radsafe land 
have any experience with disposal of these kits?  
     
Thanks in advance
