Thanks for the link.  Very accurate information.  Lots of good memories. I 
did research @ X10 for 3 yrs and used a lab in the Graphite reactor, which 
had already been decommissioned.  Glad so see they had the Treasury silver 
story.

They don't have the later story about the medium level waste cells and the 
great contamination they caused.  But those cells must have been where the 
waste went form the initial plutonium purification.  Explains why they 
were located where they were on expensive, exposed real estate.
