Sludge Watch ==> UK - sludge treatment plant to hold radioactive waste

[Bachjchauf at aol.com]

A US federal interagency study, completed in 2004, evaluates  the 
significance of levels of radioactive materials detected in  municipal sewage sludge.  
The study was based on sludge samples taken at  over 300 POTW's where elevated 
levels of radioactive materials were  expected.  Dose modeling, based on 
typical sludge management  practices, was performed to provide perspective to the 
levels of specific  radionuclides detected in the survey.  A guidance document 
was prepared to  provide a methodology to POTW operators and environmental 
regulators for  evaluating levels of radioactive materials detected in sludges 
produced at a  specific POTW.
 
The three documents (survey, dose modeling, and guidance), as well as a  
database containing the survey results, can be accessed at _www.iscors.org_
