POJOAQUE, N.M.—State environmental officials have reached an agreement with Los Alamos National Laboratory to expedite the cleanup of thousands of barrels of radioactive waste.
Environment Secretary David Martin told a special meeting of the lab's Citizens Advisory Board that it has agreed to have all the barrels currently stored above ground removed by June 30, 2014. Any newly generated waste will have to be removed by the end of 2014. http://www.boston.com/news/science/articles/2012/01/05/nm_lab_reach_deal_on_radioactive_waste_cleanup/
