Partner Quoted in The New Yorker
Partner John Wittenborn was quoted in The New Yorker magazine in an article about orphan radioactive sources. Mr. Wittenborn discussed that since 1982 there have been as many as thirty-five accidents in the United States in which radioactive materials dumped illegally or inadvertently in the country’s scrap-metal piles accidentally contaminated steel plants and workers. According to Mr. Wittenborn, costs can run as high as twenty-four million dollars per event.
