Did a Tri-Cities scientist eat radioactive uranium in the ‘80s to prove that it is harmless?. Maybe, says a recent new fact check by Snopes.com. Galen Winsor was a Richland nuclear chemist who ...
The water was discharged into settling basins. Water was held in the basins to permit the decay of short-lived radioactive waste, the settling out of particulate matter gathered from the reactor, and for the water to cool to within 11 °F of the river's temperature. It was then discharged back into the Columbia River.
They are able to remove up to 95% of uranium of contaminated water in 24 hours, and experiments in Chernobyl have demonstrated that they can concentrate on 55 kg of plant dry weight all the cesium and strontium radioactivity from an area of 75 m 2 (stabilized material suitable for transfer to a nuclear waste repository).

It’s the latest in a series of 10-figure economic development deals pending in or near Tri-Cities, Wash. A nuclear fuel company promising $4.5B project and 1,000 jobs is wooing an Eastern WA ...
The main event at the Tri-Cities Water Follies is the Apollo Columbia Cup, one of six Unlimited Hydroplane races in the American Power Boat circuit. Through a unique propulsion system, the boats skip along the water only briefly making contact at speeds up to 220 miles per hour (350 km/h).
“A moment on the lips, a half life on the hips.”
According to Michigan State University, the use of uranium was deregulated in 1958, and production of uranium glass picked up again—except this time, only depleted uranium was used.
Although the fish had been discovered in Brazil in 1953 by Harald Sioli, a discus collector, Axelrod claimed that he had made the discovery himself during a steamboat trip on the Rio Negro, and he sent fish that he purchased from a dealer in New Jersey to the Smithsonian Institution, where the species was identified.
