Re: Radium dial painters

[rkathren@tricity.wsu.edu (Ron L. Kathren)]

You should be aware that the radium dial painter followup program was
terminated several years ago.  The materials from the study now repose in
the National Human Radiobiology Tissue Repository (NHRTR) which is run by
the US Transuranium and Uranium Registries.  These materials, which include
tissues, artifcats, data, and, yes, even photos, are available for
scientific purposes.  

All RADSAFERS are invited to visit the USTUR home page at:  www.ustur.WSU.edu
