Vellucci said that DNA research has caused friction between Cambridge and MIT and that nuclear waste disposal may become a problem. Milne said MIT follows city and federal ordinances in those projects. "Nuclear shouldn't be an issue. I don't believe it should be a problem," Milne said.
The Cambridge City Council last night voted to hold a public hearing next month to discuss disposal of radioactive and other hazardous wastes generated by laboratories at Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
University safety officials said yesterday some research in the medical area will have to end by early next week if Harvard's only outlet for the disposal of low-level radioactive waste remains closed.
NRC spokesman Richard Cunningham said yesterday federal agencies must convince Ray to reopen the Hanford site--the only disposal area in the country currently accepting low-level wastes.
Boston-area college safety officials all agree that the longterm solution to the problem is establishing local disposal cites or incineration facilities.
