Goals include expanding the size of current emergency evacuation and agricultural interdiction zones and providing more realistic and useful training for emergency responders and utility personnel. The west valley project - an effort to clean up nuclear waste on the west valley nuclear waste site in new york that has been leaking radioactive waste into the ground since 1966.In an effort to persuade the department of energy ("doe") to clean up the site, nuclear information and resource service has joined with other organizations and undertaken the dissemination and public release of hydrogeology studies of surface and groundwater on and offsite at west valley. The author of the studies will meet for public briefings with elected officials, public interest allies and for media work. Public education and outreach is being carried out with events to publicize the west valley nuclear problems. Additionally, efforts are being made to continue to track doe physical site activities and provide detailed input on doe's science panel and study teams.
