Default Re: Crap! I have some old Polonium in my possession!

You have, what?, 1/40th the polonium in the brush that you did back in 1992?

Anyway, legal answer: what you have is an amount of polonium that is produced in extremely small amounts, and is considered by the NRC to be an exempt quantity for regulatory purposes.

So just throw it away. Or keep it. Whatever you want.
