information in advance to allow on-site access.

Tour Notes:
Cameras are welcome. All equipment is subject to scanning/screening on 
entrance and exit from the Reactor Facility. Low-heeled shoes and 
cotton or other natural fiber clothing is recommended as they will be 
less likely than synthetic fabrics to absorb naturally occurring 
radon within the Reactor Facility that could result in additional 
time to be surveyed on exiting.
