EPA Issues Additional Rapid Radiochemical Response Methods that Incorporate Eichrom Resins 
In July, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) released a second edition of the Rapid Radiochemical Methods for Selected Radionuclides in Water, Air Particulate Filters and Swipes, and Soil Matrices for Environmental Remediation Following Radiological Incidents.  This publication expands the scope from the first edition, titled Rapid Radiochemical Methods for Selected Radionuclides in Water for Environmental Restoration Following Homeland Security Events.

The new suite incorporates 12 methods for the determination of nine radionuclides in four sample matrices.



Hydraulic Fracturing 
Is it an exciting new way to secure vast reserves of clean burning natural gas and oil that were previously unreachable?  Or will it's unconventional extraction techniques cause unforeseen damage to our environment and its inhabitants that outweigh the benefits?  This article describes the current research being done to answer the above questions and provides additional resources for your further investigation.

Permanent Shielding  
Permanent shielding is broadly defined as any shielding system that can be placed into position "permanently". This may seem obvious, but this definition covers a variety of different solutions that are tailored to the needs of the location. Of course, the advantage of this shielding is that it saves man hours and REMs during future outages, opens up areas that may have previously been restricted access, and can free up space in a crowded work environment, both inside and outside containment. While these solutions may cost more to install, the long term cost savings can be significant.
