Something sensible out of House Science. I know because our Hanford residents class action law suit put a lot of research together (for 30 plus years, we waited them out-and won when they settled) on low dose radiation from nuclear plants. I am sure ground water is tainted near San OhNo!Fre H.R. 35, the Low-Dose Radiation Research Act was introduced by Rep. Randy Hultgren (R-IL) and was cosponsored by Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-IL) and other Members of the House Science Committee. In the last Congress, a virtually identical bill passed with bipartisan support. H.R. 35 requires the Department of Energy to conduct research to improve the understanding of the risks and uncertainties associated with the effects of exposure to low dose radiation. The bill stipulates that the National Academies will conduct a study assessing the current status of low dose radiation research and will develop a long term strategy to reduce health risks associated with low-dose radiation. The DOE will then be required to develop a five-year strategic plan in response to the recommendations from the National Academies. H.R. 35 passed the House by a vote of 381-39.
