Re: natural radioactivity in motor oil?

[qkv@ornl.gov (Kevin Meyer)]

I'm still working on it. I have received information about a few references
that sound good, including "USGS Bulletin 1100: Uranium and other metals in
crude oil"; I haven't yet had a chance to look these up. Also, I think the
American Petroleum Institute might have some useful information.
thanks,
