   A little more than 15 years ago I worked on a project at Fernald where we cleaned out 6000 decaying drums of thorium compound from our abandoned Thorium Reactor development many years ago. I believe it is all buried now as at that time it was below the Economic Disposal Limit. I wonder if they would like it back now so we could sell it to China.
