> COURT UPHOLDS RADIONUCLIDES RULE
>
> The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has issued a ruling upholding EPA’s
> regulation setting a permissible exposure level (PEL) for radionuclides
> in drinking water. In issuing the ruling, the court rejected arguments
> by the petitioners—two trade associations and several municipal water
> agencies—to the effect that EPA’s radionuclides rule was not based on
> the best available science. The rule requires public drinking-water
> systems to control levels of radium-226, radium-228, and certain
> beta/photon emitters in drinking water. It also regulates uranium in
> drinking water for the first time.
