Re[2]: Shipping radioactive material



     Related question that I'm sure some RADSAFER can answer off the top of 
     his/her head: What is the specific activity of a typical Fiestaware 
     piece? I suspect that they are less than 2 nCi/g. IMO, I don't believe 
     that DOT or the states care much about private citizens or antique 
     dealers driving around with Fiestaware, lantern mantles, etc. in their 
     private vehicles!

     disclaimer: The above is my opinion and I would never ask anyone else 
     to claim it!  ;-)

What about all those antique dealers out there.  They are certainly in 
commerce.  :)
