RE: Advice to Teachers

["Dale E. Boyce" <dale@radpro.uchicago.edu>]

As an example, tell the teacher to imagine taking a 55 gallon barrel out to
his garden and filling it with dirt.  Then manifesting it for of the order
of a microcurie of Cs-137 not to mention K-40 and Ra226 which are also in
the microcurie range.  He should then ship out to Barnwell and pay
oh about $2500 for them to dig up some equally radioactive dirt and then
bury the drum in that dirt.  He should then repeat the process until
all radioactive material is removed from his property.  I think most
people will catch on before you finish the story. :)
