Radiac Research Corporation is headquartered in a low-slung building in South Williamsburg at 33 S First Street on Kent Ave. but Williamsburg is not an appropriate site for the station, which stores hazardous waste and low-level nuclear waste from medical devices, this facility is not essential and should not be located in a populated, and increasingly popular, Brooklyn community.
State environmental regulators have scheduled a public hearing for today on whether the station’s owner, Radiac, should rve a renewal of a nuclear storage permit from the state, but senator Schumer is against it. He said a fire at the site could threaten 130,000 people who live within a mile. Radiac officials said yesterday that the levels of waste at the site were too low to pose a risk even after an accident.
