Aiwat area disposal site eyed by federal panel
ANSULULE ALG Ger Aiwat wer won federal Atomic Energy Commission for disposal, Drach said. He said any area would undergo a complete geological study to ensure no seepage or faults. The state Health Department and other agencies forming the committee gave the proposal a clean bill of health. A Southern Illinois Inc committee has studied attracting industry using radioactive materials and in September said disposal would not occur without guarantees it would help attract industry. Some residents oppose a disposal site, and area officials previously objected, fearing land contamination. Drach calls those fears unjustified and says the state would seek cheap land with other uses.
