Re: Sodium Iodide

While I don't have any suggestions for alternative suppliers in this case,
I might comment that, to my knowledge, Nordion staff are not actually on
strike.  The strike is at the AECL Chalk River location, where the isotopes
are initially produced in the NRU reactor, and then sent for subsequent
processing at the separately owned Nordion facility.
