We have been doing a comprehensive inventory at our high school, and
found a jar labeled "Thorium nitrate".  It is radioactive as we have
tested it with the gieger counter.  However, it isn't labeled as to
which isotope it is.  It appears to be old, say 50's vintage.  If anyone
has any information about this substance, it would be appreciated.
We would like to dispose of it properly.
