| "On April 17, 2002, the North Carolina Division of Radiation Protection,     |
| Radioactive Material Section, was notified by the North Carolina Hazardous   |
| Material staff of an ongoing event possibly involving radioactive material.  |
| During the clean up of an unoccupied home (located in Asheville, NC) by a    |
| church group, several containers with radioactive labels were discovered and |
| disposed of as trash (on April 13, 2002).  The containers (approximately 10  |
| in number) were described as 3 inches in diameter (possibly lead), labeled   |
| with the radiation symbol, and labeled 'TC'.  Local authorities have         |
| concluded the trash was deposited at the local landfill (Buncombe Co.) and   |
| is currently under 1,500 tons of trash.  Local authorities have performed    |
| radiation exposure measurements at the landfill and home site[.  They]       |
| report no significant measurements above background levels.  The North       |
| Carolina Division of Radiation Protection is continuing to gather            |
| information."                                                                |
