natural thorium



Two questions with respect to "natural" or "source" material.

Does anyone have a value or reference for the total activity in a gas
mantle?

Uranium and thorium in steel and welding rods/wire are exempt from
regulation by the NRC.  When these radionuclides are concentrated in slag do
they become a regulated waste?  What about DOT issues?
