Pleasepost this on the OCAS website as my public commenton SC&A' s targetedreview of the Rocky Flats SEC-OQO30 is currently postedon the OCAS website. that p. 19 of 231. SC&A review of RF SEC evaluadonby N(OSH containsthe following excerpt:
(Excerpt) "While the evidence is more equivocal for thorium, 8C&A concludesthat no information has been found to contradict NIOSH's source term characterizationsbased on available materials balance records and other documentation.and therefore, no SEC issue has been establishedwith respectto the source term.))
Thus, SC&A ignores the Dow (Madison IL) sworn affidavits submittedto OCAS/NIOSH and made known to the RF work group of the Board showingthat truckloads of magnesium-thorium alloys were shippedfrom Dow Madison (IL) to RF in Colorado.that someof this material was . returned for further processingto the Madison site. 1hatRF personnelreciprocated jobs at Madison and Colorado-RF,and that two pl\Jtoniumbillets were brought to Madison and one was acco~ed by aimed guards who identified themselves RF personnel.In addition, RF as personnelcameinto tho Madison plant and "took over" the extmsion presses run ~'special to metals'. the Dow workers believe were thorium.
