German radioactive waste OK'd for Tennessee
OAK RIDGE, Tenn. - Federal authorities have approved licenses allowing
up to 1,000 tons of low-level radioactive waste from Germany to be
brought to Oak Ridge, Tennessee, for incineration.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's decision has some environmental
groups calling the plan unhealthy and a possible gateway for highly
radioactive wastes to be reprocessed or recycled in East Tennessee's
"Atomic City."
Don Safer, chairman of the Tennessee Environmental Council, told The
Chattanooga Times Free Press that the Czech government turned away the
waste and Utah did everything in its power to avoid receiving the ash
left behind after incineration at Oak Ridge, forcing most of it to be
shipped back to Germany.
