[ RadSafe ] The republic - Change Topic to Bechtel BWXT Idaho Worker Dose

[Forbes, John]

It strayed as soon as we mentioned Yucca Mountain; now for some current rad protection news check out the following:
**************************************************************************************************
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (AP) ‐ About 20 workers at a federal cleanup project in eastern Idaho were exposed
to radioactive waste last February after a plywood box broke open, but site managers say the doses
were below acceptable levels.

Bechtel BWXT Idaho, which is overseeing the multibillion dollar cleanup at the Idaho National
Laboratory of waste stored here for decades, confirmed the incident this week.

The Idaho Falls Post‐Register reports the highest dose received by a worker was 130 millirem, less than
half the average yearly dose that Americans receive from background radiation.

Still, since the incident, Bechtel has halted efforts to retrieve stored waste, on concern about the
structural integrity of the containers.

It's working on alternatives to handling them safely.
**************************************************************************************************
You're welcome,
John

I am also confused.
The topic has completely strayed to something not relevant to radiation
rotection.  While I keep hitting delete, it is getting a bit old.
Can we please get back to issues/matters related to radiation
rotection?

 As Americans, we all need to right the wrongs of 100 years of
 progressivism and make informed decisions (not based upon
lame-stream"
 media). Seek the truth, question with boldness, speak without fear,
nd
 VOTE the bums out of office.
