Phase II SRS Dose Reconstruction Project Completed
At the Savannah River Site Health Effects Subcommittee meeting last week the panel discussed Phase II of the SRS Dose Reconstruction Project. The five phase study by CDC aims to assess health effects on nearby residents from past releases of chemicals and radioactive materials. Phase II involved a thorough review of records and analysis of emissions to air water and soil noting isotopes such as iodine and plutonium and chemicals like cesium and cobalt. Twenty two chemicals and heavy metals were studied in the report which is being drafted for final review before National input.

USC archeologist spots pre Clovis tools at Savannah River site
University of South Carolina archaeologist Dr. Albert Goodyear reports finding hundreds of stone artifacts along the Savannah River that may be more than 12 000 years old. The discovery at Topper near Allendale challenges the view that North America’s first settlers were the Clovis culture and suggests people lived here earlier during the Ice Age.
