Radionuclides Implementation
EPA is revising the current radionuclides regulation, which has been
in effect since 1977, and is setting a standard for uranium as required by the 1986 amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act. The current standards are: combined radium 226/228 of 5 pCi/L; a combined standard of 4 mrem/year for beta emitters; and a gross alpha
standard for all alphas of 15 pCi/L, not radon and uranium.
