Is this Radiation from LANL?OverviewNews Release - Study finds radioactivity around Los Alamos largely due to natural sourcesLOS ALAMOS, New Mexico, December 10, 2008 — A recent study that assessed levels of radioactivity near Los Alamos National Laboratory confirmed that nearly all measured radioactivity in the area is due to natural sources. Findings also confirmed that radioactivity measured in Embudo Valley, Picuris Pueblo, Llano, and Trampas Lake could not have come from LANL. The study, which was conducted in August 2008 by scientists in the Environmental Programs Directorate at Los Alamos National Laboratory, was subsequently peer reviewed externally by scientists at Colorado State University and internally within the Laboratory. |
