Surplus LSCs To Good Home(s)

["dama" <dama@waterw.com>]

The Public Service Electric & Gas Nuclear Business Unit currently has 
2 surplus liquid scintillation counters looking for good homes.  Both 
units were in service at our Nuclear Training Facility that has since
transferred their functions into the stations.  They are operational 
and have "low mileage".  Some spare parts may also be available.  
Specifications are as follows:

One each:   Beckman Model LS 5801 with installed 30 microCurie Cs-137 
            source

One each:   Tri-Carb Model 300 with installed 10 microCurie Ra-226 
            source

We would prefer to donate these units to academic or non-profit 
organizations, so they will receive preferential consideration.  The 
recipient(s) of these units must be licensed to receive and possess 
the quantities of radioactive material described above.  In addition, 
the recipient would also be responsible for any shipping and handling 
charges from our Salem, NJ facility.  Arrangements could probably be 
made to remove the sources for shipping in separate containers to 
lower the packaging and shipping costs on the units themselves.

If you have an interest in either of these units, please respond to 
me directly, via e-mail, with the following information:

1)  Your name, day time phone number and e-mail address

2)  Your organization/institution

3)  Intended use(s) for the units

Please respond as promptly as possible, plans were in progress to 
remove the sources for return to the manufacture so that the units 
themselves could be disposed of as commercial trash.  We thought this 
would be an awful waste and postponed that operation to find them 
good homes.
