EPA warns of radiation migration from low level waste sites
The EPA reports traces of plutonium and other low level wastes have migrated hundreds of feet from burial trenches in Kentucky. The movement, described as unexplainable, prompts a review of disposal systems and the use of burial as a temporary measure until safer methods are found. No public health hazard is claimed, but Maxey Flats may need enlargement if migration continues. Other sites cited include West Valley New York Barnwell South Carolina Sheffield Illinois Beatty Nevada and Richland Washington.
