Many years ago worked in a ro= utine environmental lab in receiving at the time and one day we received an= errant cooler filled with NORM (low-hazard possibly radioactive soil), com= plete with yellow and black rad hazard stickers. Being that we weren't a radiological facility, it had some folks quite pert= urbed. After all, they were bench chemists, not rad experts. Luckily our = safety guy had been around the block and then some. He disappears back to = the back warehouse for a little while and comes back with a Geiger counter = nobody knew we even had. He had a quick lesson with folks, waved the wand = over the material showing no detectable counts, and everyone went about the= ir day. The best part of it all was our Geiger counter being "found", we had quite = a bit of fun with it later on when a coworker went in for some thyroid work= and returned with a throat full of Iodine-131. Several years later I was on an assignment in Richland, WA and had the priv= ilege of some residency at one of our rad facilities at the time. Tying it= back to TUHS, they were the only lab in our network that still had an old = UNIX box lying around from our pre-Windows days (Sun I think). The technic= al manager Ken was also quite enthused to show me a bunch of old DEC docume= ntation in a closet. They've since closed. I wish I had been around for t= hat, someone made off with all the "for disposal" tech stuff before I caugh= t wind of it :( - Matt G. P.S. If you're ever flying over the tri-cities area (central WA), try and s= cope out Hanford from a distance. It's a bit haunting to be honest. The f= acilities are in a general state of demolition/remediation, then down the w= ay you have the current Columbia River nuclear plant, and a field of who kn= ows what between. Definitely a sight to see for any radiological enthusias= ts, I'll make it on one of those tours someday! ------- Original Message ------- On Wednesday, December 28th, 2022 at 4:36 PM, Douglas McIlroy wrote: > Trivia: Morris (eventually Pike) was next door to McIlroy. 2C-525 was > across the hall; it soon became home to Condon and the cube of uranium > he kept in his desk to show people that it's not normally dangerous. >=20 > Doug >=20 > On Tue, Dec 27, 2022 at 10:18 AM Larry McVoy lm@mcvoy.com wrote: >=20 > > Well this lines up with my records: > >=20 > > slovax$ call ritchie > > Dennis Ritchie 908-582-3770 (W/bell labs) > >=20 > > Same as the extension listed below. > >=20 > > Dennis was one of the well known people who taught me that if you had > > done your homework, he was more than willing to talk to you.
