Re: radiopharmaceuticals

Dear Lynn-
Based upon what I know (not a lot) about phase I, II and III assessments, I 
would say that the landlord could have liability.  At a minimum, the use of 
radiopharmaceuticals in a building is cause for a potential buyer, or bank 
lender, to have second thoughts about lending on the property without having 
surveys performed to document no contamination.  This can be costly, even 
when all operations are in accordance with the regulations.  The "new" 
decommissioning rule can end up being more restrictive on you than the 
regulations for operation of a facility.
