RE: Disposal of Decontamination Waste post RDD

["Gerry Blackwood" <gpblackwood@justice.com>]

Larry, Thanks and ya got to love DARPA! But if the

current EPA Standards and Cleanup criteria are not

modified, DARPA and others are just putting the cart

before the horse. The volumes we are talking if an RDD

event occurs dependent on the type of emitter used are

plainly staggering and beyond current deconatamination

and clean up technology. Though in a national emergency

anything can go......
