The Three Mile Island accident pointed out a number of shortcomings in federal and state governmental planning for radiological emergencies. One concerns the handling of radiation-contaminated food. Pennsylvania, for example, has no legal limits for the amount of radionuclides permitted in food. An examination of the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) guidelines for the control of radiation-contaminated food which may be sold in interstate commerce concludes that only the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and one provision of the Atomic Energy Act are applicable; that the adulterated food section of the Act is not an effective means of barring the food from interstate commerce; and that the FDA has not established any regulations allowing it to condemn such food as required by the Act. 98 references.
