Radsafers,

We need a special pig for loading a multi-curie Co-60 source.   I
have heard of pigs with openings in both the top and bottom.  This 
would allow us to position it above the storage pipe, remotely 
retrieve the source from above and then close the bottom.  After the 
bottom is closed, release the source from above and close the top.

If anyone has information as to where I might be able to purchase 
something like this I would appreciate it.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Patrick  (mcdermot@helen.rutgers.edu)
