1610	Double-bag G101c (HV#2, HVGe prototype) and remove from purge cabinet in clean room.
1620	Place G101c in the source safe, in the poly+lead-lined portion, along with the Cf-252 source. The source is in its small poly container. The hope is that the thermalized neutron cloud will be sufficient to activate the detector. (Note that a few years ago I tried activating a Ge detector by placing the source on top of it for several days - it didn't seem to work. Maybe the poly and lead will help.)
