U.S. scientists have devised a way of determining the radiation risks from nuclear-waste repositories. U.S. and New York state energy-agency experts studied a buried disposal site at West Valley, N.Y., and found that "a release resulting in a dose of 100 millirems in one year, or more, is extremely unlikely during the next 30 years of operation of the state-managed disposal area at the Western New York Nuclear Service Center." Annually, people are exposed to 300 millirems of cosmic radiation without suffering health problems, the study added. United Press International
