RE: Environmental TLDs

["Neil, David M" <neildm@id.doe.gov>]

One system I haven't seen mentioned is the one which has been used at
the INEEL.

The chips are sealed into a laminated card which is mounted into a frame
on a stake.  Change it out in 20 seconds from your 4WD window (Did it!
Twice a year).

A very few will still manage to absorb water if the card gets damaged.
