Dow to remove radioactive waste from Saginaw Bay site
WOODTV.com & WOOD TV8 - Grand Rapids news and weather - Dow to remove radioactive waste from Saginaw Bay site: "Dow to remove radioactive waste from Saginaw Bay site
BAY CITY, Mich. Dow Chemical plans to remove radioactive waste from a former industrial site near the mouth of Saginaw Bay.
The cleanup is being overseen by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The N-R-C says it focuses on thorium slag, a low-level radioactive waste, and poses no danger to the public.
Dow plans to dig out dirt containing thorium because levels of radioactivity on about nine acres of the property in Bay County's Hampton Township are above those considered acceptable.
Dow-hired crews are surveying the site to determine what areas need to be dug out to reduce the radioactivity to an acceptable level.
