DOE faces critics over safety near nuclear plants and fallout reach
Officials said radioactive rain from the April 26 Soviet accident reached the Pacific Northwest. Concentrations in Richland and Portland were too low for precautions. A House memo accused DOE of creating an exclusive domain over offsite emergency planning for DOE facilities, sparking debate on safety, oversight, and national security. Reagan criticized Soviet secrecy while FDA inspectors tested imported foods for radiation.

They traveled via New York to Houston after Kiev meetings with Soviet Baptist groups. Both tested negative for radiation and described Soviet secrecy as delaying awareness.

Milk samples sent to Alabama for radiation testing
U S milk from Austin and Fort Worth was sent to Alabama for radiation testing after radioactivity detected over the western coast. The EPA activated the Pasteurized Milk Sampling Network and will take samples twice weekly. Ed Bailey of the Texas Health Department says contamination is unlikely to raise milk levels above safety guidelines. Air samples in Midland, Austin, and Tyler show no unusual activity. Preliminary EPA lab results could be ready by Wednesday. contaminated milk would be destroyed or held, possibly converted to cheese, until iodine levels drop.
