Free radium!!

["Edgerton, Patricia" <pedgerto@rhb.dhs.cahwnet.gov>]

We have a 500 uCi Radium-226 "Alphatron" vacuum gauge for the taking.  I 
understand the unit is used to measure small fractions of atmosphere; as you 
increase the vacuum, radiation detectors will measure an increase in 
exposure and this will indicate the amount of vacuum.

Everyone needs one of these!!

If you have any questions contact Paul Baldenweg in our Southern California 
office at PBaldenw@rhb.dhs.cahwnet.gov or (213) 580-5790.
