A New York meeting of 1,800 scientists and officials heard that after a decade of study the industry has no fully satisfactory method for disposing of high level radioactive wastes. Arthur E. Gorman of the Atomic Energy Commission warned that long term storage is only a stopgap and that several nuclear reactors planned near populated areas heighten the risk. At Brookhaven, researchers formed ceramic beads from radioactive solids mixed with clay and baked to enable above ground storage.
