According to Mary O'Brien, (Making Better Environmental Decisions: An Alternative to Risk Assessment) careful and protective lawmakers must be enlisted so as not to subject ctizens to unknown risks.

The lack of follow-up on this issue in Berkeley has resulted in repeated contamination of soil, food chain, wildlife, external and internal water supplies.

The Alameda County (California) School Board and the Environmentally Consciencious Citizens of Berkeley sucessfully discovered the problem and worked resolutely to close the reprocessing facility which had received a license and permit from a clerk working for the City of Berkeley. The facility was closed due to the alarm of citizens at the danger of exposure of radioactive leaks near the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and the exposure of children to radiation at the Lawrence Hall of Science

Unfortunately, no plans were made to dispose of the thousands of stainless steel barrels of explosive tritium gas which remained stacked along Centennial Drive and hidden underground throughout the University's extensive tunnel system. Lack of proper overseeing and evaluation of the permit granting agency (if any) resulted in truckloads of these barrels exploding near Lake Anza and other unexpected places during the summer of 2003 and winter of 2004.
