Questions for MU and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission

Wth? Why is there still radioactivity in the basement of a building on the MU campus, for starters? The Columbia Daily and The Kansas City Star are reporting this today. Questions: How radioactive? What's the extent of the radioactivity? Were or are faculty and students unreasonably exposed? What is necessary for the cleanup? What will it cost? Who will have to pay for it--the University or the State itself? Do either have it in their respective budgets? How long will it take? If they have to, can they get that museum out of there for the cleanup?

My favorite MU website, pick a building, and you can view the original plans, pictures, etc. Even includes buildings that have been torn down: http://umcspace.missouri.edu/historic/
