Steel Tower Phenomena Thanks




     Thanks to all those that contributed to the alpha activity steel tower 
     phenomena. Your ideas and recommendations assisted us in following the 
     path that led us in the direction of, and final conclusion, that the 
     alpha activity was the result of Pb210 decay to Po210.
     
     After chemical separations and ion exchanges and a 1000 minute alpha 
     spec count, a 46 keV peak appeared and Pb210 was identified.
