Perhaps you meant Cs-137. Halliburton loses mCi of Am-241 etc monthly.
MilliCuries? That's a bit surprising, though losing microCuries of it would be more likely. An average home smoke detector has 1-5 microcuries, and industrial detectors go up to 15, according to one or two articles on the web which may be outdated. So you're saying they lose hundreds to thousands of smoke detectors a month? ---- Bill Stewart bill.stewart@pobox.com
