I realize that you do not want to get into a huge discussion about
the background information you provided... but I would appreciate
a clarification.  

I have excerpted your statement about limits.  Do I understand
you correctly that all "non-natural" material is exempted if it
contains 100 Bq/g or less?

BACKGROUND:
the current Dutch legislations states an exempt limit for 'natural'
materials of 500 Bq(total) per gramme material, and 100
Bq(total) per gramme
for 'non-natural' or 'artificial' materials.
