magnesium-zirconium-thorium alloys

[Paul_Hinrichsen/CNS1@cns.co.za]

I recently put out a query on the use of thorium alloys in the aircraft
industry. I received many very useful replies and I thank all you Radsafers
out their for your help.

However, on 6/1/99 I received an interesting reply from someone who is a
Health Physicist at an airforce base in the States (if my memory serves me
correctly). It was a very informative reply which, amongst other things
mentioned that they had a list of all the parts on an aircraft which were
radio active.

I intended to reply to this individual, however I have lost his/her e-mail
(I don't know how  -  Sorry !). If the individual can recognise
himself/herself by the above please contact me again so that I may bother
you with my questions.

Thanks

Paul
