   MORE RADIATION «MISPLACED»

   Six radioactive «sources» were last year «lost» in Norwegian North Sea oil fields. Three oil wells had to be sealed to isolate the substances. At the bottom of the sealed off wells was found Cesium and Americium with a half life of 30 and 432 years. The Norwegian national radiation protection agency is now warning the oil companies about their use of radioactive materials.
   The oil companies are defending themselves with the fact that this technique is in use in practically every oil field worldwide.
