Westinghouse Savannah River Site Co., which runs SRS for the Energy De partment, showed off its efforts on Wednes day. That includes injecting steam deep into the ground to flush out industrial sol vents used to clean the equipment that once produced weapons at the site. The intense heat and oxygen force the solvents to an extraction well, which destroys the contaminants. “The big advantage of this system is that overall cleanup times can be reduced by decades compared with that for tradi tional pump-and-treat methods,” said Jim Kupar, project engineer. The project is in one of the most con taminated areas. But the site is expected to be cleaned within a year and with no lasting damage to the environment, he said. Westinghouse has been searching for cost effective ways to clean up SRS was established in 1950 to pro duce isotopes — mainly plutonium and tritium — used in nuclear bombs. But left behind was a toxic environmental cock tail and Westinghouse has been looking for ways to clean it up since the 1980s. Engineers have found one of the easiest resources to clean tritium-tainted ground water is Mother Nature. The water is caught a shallow pond near an old radioactive waste burial basin, then spread across a three-quarter acre pine forest. The idea is to have the trees suck up the water, along with the traces of tritium, and evaporate it. Tritium is a radioactive form of hydrogen used to increase the power of nuclear bombs. This $1.3 million pilot project is de signed to reduce the amount of tritium seeping into nearby Four Mile Creek, which runs into the Savannah River five miles away, and cut the time it would take the tritium to disappear,, SRS hopes to save $ 19 million during five years when compared with the con ventional method of extracting the water, processing it and releasing it back into the ground, project manager Edward Mc Namee said The amounts of tritium involved are so small that they neither threaten the trees nor the drinking water supply of sev eral downstream cities that take their wa ter from the river, 5RS officials say. The tritium “would fit into a teacup,” but it’s spread over a half billion gallons of ground water across 50 acres of land, McNamee said. Yet another project mixes 10,000 cu bic yards of contaminated soil with a ce ment-based grout to solidify and hold any radioactive materials from reaching ground water. A cover that does not allow seep age will go over the basin, and in the fu ture the site could be used for industrial operations, said Brad Davis, manager of the $11 million project. Surgeon general says state missing opportunity with tobacco money Associated Press GREENVILLE — South Carolina is squandering a chance to protect chil dren by spending too much tobacco set tlement money on public works, tobacco growers and economic development and not enough on smoking prevention, Sur geon General David Satcher says. “A lot of young people addicted to smoking before 18 will spend the rest of their lives regretting it and trying to quit,” Satcher told The Greenville News for a story Wednesday. “Taking advantage of the settlements would save a lot of unnecessary pain and suffering and would be one of the best in vestments we can make, like a polio vac cine,” he said. Satcher has criticized how states plan to spend billions of dollars from a 1998 settlement with tobacco companies. On average, 10 percent will go to smoking prevention, he said. States sued tobacco companies to recoup health care costs associated with smoking. A group of 44 states settled in 1998 for $206 billion. Four other states set tled separately for an additional $40 bil lion. South Carolina was to receive $3.2 billion over 30 years but officials decided to sell bonds guaranteeing $800 million immediately so the money could be used to help tobacco farmers and others who have depended on the industry for their livelihoods. Beginning next year, 73 percent of the money will go for health care while 15 percent will go to tobacco farmers. Ten percent will be used for rural develop ment and 2 percent for water and sewer projects. The state received $ 165 million in the first two years of the settlement and last session lawmakers voted to spent $1.75 million, about 2 percent, on smoking pre vention. Gov. Jim Hodges had requested $11 million, said his spokesman, Morton Bril liant. Anti-smoking activists say too little is being spent in a state where one in four adults and nearly 40 percent of high school students smoke. “We got this money because tobacco was causing a tremendous health prob lem,” said Thomas Gillette, director of tobacco control for the state Department of Health and Environmental Control. “We should use it for health, not as a wind fall for other areas.” “The legislators will decide which ini tiatives to fund, and my biggest fear is how far can we stretch the term health care?” said Greg White of the state chapter of the American Lung Association. “The money needs to go to important health care needs for South Carolina, not be used as a political opportunity.” The legislative process was a “mon ey grab,” said Carol Reeves, director of the Greenville Family Partnership, a pri vate nonprofit alcohol and drug preven tion agency. “Our state looked at this as a wind fall,” she said. “The legislators are mak ing irresponsible decisions at the only op portunity we really had to make a difference.” But the final legislation, like most laws, was a compromise, said state Sen. Warren Giese, R-Columbia. “It takes an entire legislature to pass a bill,” he said. “Legislatorsirom the tobacco growing areas fought to keep mon ey for growers and those of us with health objectives felt that all money should go to the health care of people injured by smoking tobacco.” Taking advantage of the settlements would save a lot of unnecessary pain and suffering and would be one of the best investments we can make, like a polio vaccine.’ David Satcherg Surgeon General To Every Generation _Jhere isjcliffsNotes" Find the CliffsNotes you need wherever books are sold!
