RE: R/A MATERIAL BAG

["Fulmer, Philip" <philip.fulmer@cplc.com>]

Johnny,

The only SONOPCO that I've heard of is Southern Nuclear Operating
Company.  I'm sure there are others on RadSafe who are more familiar
with their exact location, etc., but as I understand it, they're one of
the corporate entities under the Southern Company, which is the top rung
of the ladder over Georgia Power and Alabama Power (and others for all I
know).  

Sorry I can't be of more help, but maybe others can fill in the gaps and
correct any mistakes I've made.

Good luck.

Philip
