RE: COURT UPHOLDS RADIONUCLIDES RULE
To Whom it May Concern:
The Air Force Safety Center is currently looking at the risk
associated with Radium and its history within the Air Force. Does any have
any good leads on locating actual Radium dial painters (or any other folks
intimately involved with Radium dials). We are specifically looking for
individuals who handled Radium dials for the Air Force or Army Air Corps as
well as those who have a detailed knowledge of operations involving the
creation, storage, maintenance, demilitarization, or disposal of Radium
dials for the Air Force or Army Air Corps. Thank you for your time.

Subject: COURT UPHOLDS RADIONUCLIDES RULE
The following came to me via Environmental Business Journal. Does
anyone in RadSafeLand have more info on this?
Susan Gawarecki
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.
