[Rockhounds] care of radioactive specimens

[Axel Emmermann]

Indeed strange!?!
I thought I hade sent you these:

http://www.naturalsciences.be/index_html

The previous site is obviously linked to it... Blame it on the nightshift
and too little time ;-)))

The KBIN has an entire floor that is lined with lead and has special filters
to keep radioactive dust inside the building.
If anyone knows how to treat a radioactive collection it is probably them.
Head of the mineralogy/geology dept. Is Prof. Goethals.

My excupologies

Axel
