Citizens Guide to the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory
This is a 200+ page book that reviews the site's operating history, radioactive waste hazards, and Superfund cleanup process. This book is intended as a resource tool for individuals and public interest groups seeking information on the Department of Energy's historical, current, and planned operations in Idaho. We hope to have this available on-line in the near future. Hard copies of the Citizens Guide are available for twenty dollars ($20), and updated CDs are available for $10 from the Environmental Defense Institute.
