Re:Bergan County Record Article

Among the numerous inaccuracies in this article is the following statement:
"Though few deaths in the United States have been directly linked to such
radioactive sources..."

What deaths are these?  Have there been any deaths in this country due to
lost/abandoned sources?

Beware to all.  This article is tabloid trash and attempts to mock objectivity
through, among other sleazy techniques, creative use of quotes by industry
officials.  The article does, however, have a lot of entertainment value.  I
laughed all the way through it!
