AWWA JAW23829 Journal AWWA - Disposal of Radium Removed from Drinking Water

Journal Article by American Water Works Association, 07/01/1988

Hahn, Norman A. Jr.

Full Description

Installing treatment technology to remove radium isotopes from drinking water is a problematic option for water utilities endeavoring to comply with federal radium standards promulgated in 1976 because of the long-term uncertainties of disposing of wastes containing radium. Wisconsin and Illinois have investigated and prepared guidelines for the disposal of such wastes. The author outlines this available guidance and describes the need for federal and state regulatory authorities to more closely consider disposal options and concerns to ensure more orderly enforcement of the drinking water standard for radionuclides. Includes 12 references, tables, photos.
