     Scott,
     
     You could try the research reactor at the University of Massachusetts 
     Lowell (used to be University of Lowell).
     
     I think the university switchboard phone number is 978-934-4000.  They 
     could probably direct your call to the reactor office.

Hi all,
     
Two things eating away at me this evening:
     
1. My Project Manager would like to know (because of one of our lawyers 
asked him) if there are any Co-60 commercial or university research 
facilities in the US (other than our own or the University of Maryland) 
that could meet the following criteria for testing electronic parts:
a. irradiation must be in air (not at bottom of pool),
b. can manage several boards worth of parts or a full scale instrument with 
good uniformity (+/-10%),
c. dose rate between 1 and 300r/s.
     
2. Back in college I saw a training video for gas bottle safety that 
included showing damage from hose whip and a cylinder flying through a 
concrete wall when the valve was lopped off.  I can't remember any more 
than that.  (I'm a guy, what'd ya expect?)  Can anyone point me in the 
right direction for this tape?  My ES&H would love to have it for safety 
training to really get the point across. 
     
     
As ever, thanks for the help!
