Re: Slit Lamp Eye Exams

        John,

        OK, I'll stick my neck out here!  Why do you think that I, as an RSO
at a Navy facility, or the Navy in general would ignore contamination or
potential contamination of/by tritium (or any radioisotope)?   Did you hear
a story from some ex-Navy nuc-er?  Do you have an ax to grind?

        Inquiring minds want to know?

the office is responsible for my comments but myself - the Navy included...
