Re: Request for help in identifying found sealed source

["Wesley M. Dunn" <WDUNN@brc1.tdh.state.tx.us>]

This information, along with a bit more, was provided to Rita Aldrich 
some time ago.  Suffice it to say we know what the source is.  
However, the records from Gulf Nuclear are no longer available.  The 
questions are: where has it been since then and who dumped it?  

I believe Rita was checking with certain device manufacturers to 
check whether they ever possessed this specific source after it was 
initially distributed by Gulf Nuclear.
