As a result, the health and safety of the people and <br /> the environment have not been fully considered in Bill 62. Public <br /> safety should be a major consideration during public policy making. <br /> There have been numerous accidents associated with Irradiation <br /> facilities throughout the world.. At the NRC Irradiator Workshop <br /> <br /> held at Arlington, Texas on May 24, 1988, the Nucleaz Regulatory <br /> <br /> Commission has documented 50 pages of equipment failures, <br /> operational errors, fires, spills, radiation exposures, death, and <br /> ground and water contamination since 1974. In 1976, the Hawaii <br /> <br /> Development Irradiator in Honolulu took twelve years to clean-up <br /> <br /> its facility, where 200 gallons of highly radio active water were <br /> <br />
