Re: Available Radiation Sources

Radsafers:

I don't know if FEMA is giving those calibrators away, but I have a
AN/UDM-1A Free Air Collimated Calibrator - manufactured by NEMS-Clark that
I'm willing to part with for NOTHING!  It's in darn good condition, but
keep in mind that these things weigh about 700 lbs.  Complete with track,
scope, and stands.  Serial# 100 - Decay date = 10/1/64 - Present Activity =
57.973 Ci.

Hey, but if you want to give me 25K for it. . .

Regards,

-Erick Lindstrom
