Radiation debate rages inside EPA

Public Employees for Environmental Resposibility (PEER) released a media advisory about a plan at EPA to radically hike post-accident radiation in food & water. "The internal documents show that under the updated PAG a single glass of water could give a lifetime’s permissible exposure. In addition, it would allow long-term cleanup limits thousands of times more lax than anything EPA has ever before accepted. These new limits would cause a cancer in as much as every fourth person exposed." PEER News Release
