 | | WASHINGTON, Dec. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Veterans exposed to radiation during their military service and diagnosed with cancer of the bone, brain, colon, lung, or ovary will have an easier time applying for, and receiving compensation for their illnesses, if proposed regulatory changes are approved. |
 | | In early December, Energy Department and regulatory officials met to discuss the issue of criticality risks in the waste buried at the INEEL's Subsurface Disposal Area. |
