Re: Radioactive Material Labeling

["Robert Denne" <rdenne@worldnet.att.net>]

Ben,  Check with Mike Burch at Robinson.  He had a letter from the NRC that
helped us out of a jam at Brunswick.  The NRC came in and wanted us to put
radionuclides on labels in accordance with 10CFR20.1904.  Their own letter
said we didn't have to.
