This report provides an assessment of the effects of the current management policy for low-level radioactive waste (LLRW), and resulting consequences, such as higher LLRW disposal costs and onsite storage of LLRW, on the current and future activities of biomedical research. That assessment will include evaluating the effects that the lack of facilities and disposal capacity, and rules of disposal facilities, have on institutions conducting medical and biological research and on hospitals where radioisotopes are used for the diagnosis and treatment of disease.Compass series (Washington, D.C.)Radioactive wastesManagementGovernment policyUnited StatesRadioactive waste disposalGovernment policyUnited StatesRadioactive wastesManagementRadioactive wastesManagementGovernment policyRadioactive waste disposalGovernment policyRadioactive wastesManagement.363.7289097306National Research Council (U.S.).Committee on the Impact of Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Policy on Biomedical Research in the United States.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910960095903321The impact of low-level radioactive waste management policy on biomedical research in the United States4366958UNINA
