...remains radioactive for thousands of years. At present, the most highly radioactive wastes, such as spent fuel rods, are stored under water in plant "swimming pools," but reactor operators are running out of pool space.

However, some of the containers have leaked, either underground or in transit, and dump sites have been closed in Hanford, Wash., and Beatty, Nev.

But hospitals and universities with limited storage capacity rely on regular pickups by private carters. For them, a wide array of vital tests...
