Re: Nomenclature

["Jim Ogden" <James.Ogden@tdh.state.tx.us>]

For your information the word is also now being used in conjunction 
with the WIPP transportation program in the Western United States 
where it now stands for Program Implementation Guide (PIG), as 
determined by the Western Governor's Association as an agreement 
between the Association and the Department of Energy with regard to 
starting shipments to the WIPP.

Thanks,

Anyone out there know where the word 'pig' came from in conjunction with a
shielded container?

Keep those ideas coming

Thanks
