It is the overall goal of the project to determine the environmental impacts of decontamination and decommissioning activities for research reactors at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, STAR Foundation from East Hampton, NY contracted with the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research based in Heidelberg, Germany (IFEU) to provide a detailed technical analysis in collaboration with the Institute for Resource and Security Studies (IRSS) in Cambridge, Massachusetts. A focal point was the comparative assessment of various alternatives (i.e. current status, entombment and various types of decommissioning). Whereas efforts by IRSS centered on engineering questions, IFEU focused on public health impacts.
This research was completed money allocated during Round 3 of the Citizens’ Monitoring and Technical Assessment Fund (MTA Fund). Clark University was named conservator of these works.
