Título Low-level radioactive wastes
Información bibliográfica 4 Aug. 1989, Vol.262, No.5, p.669-674. 18 ref.
Resumen As from 1 January 1993 each state in the USA must provide for safe disposal of its low-level radioactive wastes. This report considers the sources and make-up of such wastes, the risks involved, how states are planning to comply with the laws while ensuring the safety of the public, and environmental and technological factors to be considered in developing disposal facilities. Recommendations are made as to how physicians can help by informing and advising the public and public officials about the medical risks involved with the wastes and effective methods of dealing with them.
