Abstract The Department of Energy has used careless and technically obsolete methods for handling radioactive and toxic chemical wastes. The Department's standards should be subject to an environmental impact study.
AbstractList The management of radioactive wastes is complicated by significant differences in the nature and regulation of military and commercial waste. Since 1982, the differences have been sharpened, as controls on civilian wastes have been tightened, but the management of wastes associated with plutonium and tritium production for nuclear weapons has come under increasing criticism. DOE's military waste handling technology is severely outdated. Drinking water and soil have been contaminated at many DOE disposal sites, due to the use of seepage basins and shallow burial techniques. DOEe military waste standards should be subject to an environmental impact study.
The Department of Energy has used careless and technically obsolete methods for handling radioactive and toxic chemical wastes. The Department's standards should be subject to an environmental impact study.
