FiestaWare

[Tad Blanchard <Tad.M.Blanchard.1@gsfc.nasa.gov>]

What is the primary radionuclide in FiestaWare? 

One of our scientists called and wanted to know.  

He has some of the dark orange pieces and found 0.05 - 0.1 mr/hr (~7500 cpm)
using a geiger counter in his lab.

He was concerned about the long-term "exposure" to him and his family.
