 In Vivo Evaluation of Chemical Biopersistence of Man-made Mineral Fibers
However, as it is known that microenvironments in the lung may vary considerably with respect to pH and to other factors that influence solubility, it is important that the results of such studies be validated by measurements of the dissolution rates of the same fibers in vivo.
If the mobility of these aberrant cells is similar to that of smaller, normal macrophages, this may explain the presence of relatively long (20-30 µm) glass fibers, which can be recovered by tracheal lavage for at least several months after their administration to rats by intratracheal instillation (unpublished data).
Several aspects of the techniques developed at the Harwell Laboratory for determining the biopersistence of MMMF in vivo should be considered, starting with the validity of the intratracheal instillation technique for administration of fibers.

 Guardian | Radioactive gas released in tests
The scientists disseminated clouds of radio-xenon and zinc cadmium sulphide from a stack at the atomic research establishment at Harwell, Oxfordshire, for two hours at lunchtime on four days in 1961.
Samplers were mounted on trucks that were driven in arcs up to 45 miles away from Harwell to track the clouds.
A nuclear expert, John Large, said the radio-xenon, which has a half-life of five days, was unlikely to be harmful, but it would have come from Harwell's nuclear reactors and could have been contaminated with more dangerous materials: "It was irresponsible.

 The Caswell Group UK - Asbestos Case Study: UKAEA HQ, Harwell
Three research reactors at the UKAEA headquarters in Harwell, Oxfordshire, were closed in 1990 and its DIDO and PLUTO reactors decommissioned to the point where they can be left for around 40 years before final dismantling.
Buildings which were used for handling radioactive materials had to be completely removed, with the long term aim of delicensing former nuclear areas so they can be released for unrestricted use.
Following its work at Harwell, Caswell Environmental Services Ltd has since won a 7 year contract with the Culham Science Centre, the home of the JET project and a purpose-built laboratory for the UKAEA-administered UK fusion programme which occupies around 180 acres near Abingdon, Oxfordshire.

 Amersham plc: Health, Safety and the Environment Review 2000 - Management of Radioactive Waste
During the reporting period, the company undertook a major programme for the safe retrieval, repackaging and storage of some 800 cubic metres of intermediate level radioactive waste generated from UK operations during the 1970s and 1980s.
The material had originally been destined for disposal at sea, but after this option was withdrawn by the UK Government it remained in temporary storage at Harwell, Oxfordshire in concrete-lined drums designed specifically for sea disposal.
When it became clear in the 1990s that plans for a national repository for such material were far from resolved, the company decided to examine ways in which it could manage the waste itself in a responsible, safe and environmentally acceptable manner.
