Hospitals urge new low level waste sites and clear rules

He urged a central clearinghouse and considered incineration as an alternative to burial. He noted three states restricted access to the only three commercial dumps, warning of slowed radiological research and medicine. Medgar Evers assassination noted as historical date.
