Re: French probe nuclear rail shipments

In a message dated 98-05-09 14:04:09 EDT, S. Perle reports:

<< PARIS, May 8 (UPI) _ The French government today launched a full
 inquiry into reports that trains carrying nuclear waste from across
 Europe to Normandy were contaminated at up to 500 times the normal
 level.  >>

Does anyone have any data as to what  is the"normal level" of contamination of
these transport cars? It is hard to judge just what is being discussed here
without some data as to whether they are are talking about contamination level
or perhaps exposure rate.
