Important Scientific Reports
- Coal-fired
power plants produce 2,000 tons of radiation each year
- This report by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory details the danger of coal-fired power plants
that produce far more radioactive contamination every year than nuclear power plants ever have.
- Good report on
natural radioactivity in food and environment.
- Compare this with the little that can ever come from
nuclear power plant waste material if it were carelessly thrown out on the
ground.
- Recommendations to Improve the Cleanup Process for California’s
Leaking Underground Fuel Tanks (LUFTs)
- This document summarizes the findings, conclusions, and recommendations resulting
from an 18 month review of the regulatory framework and cleanup process currently
applied to California’s leaking underground fuel tanks (LUFT). This review was
conducted by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and the University
of California at Berkeley, Davis, Los Angeles, and Santa Barbara at the request of
the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), Underground Storage Tank Program.
The recommendations are made to improve and streamline the LUFT cleanup decision-making process.
- Health and Environmental Assessment of MTBE
- Report to the Calif. Governor and Legislature as sponsored by SB 521. (Delivered to the Governor’s
office on November 12, 1998.) Prepared by U.C. Davis, this report includes a cost analysis of the controversial
