Lake City officials will present more information about depleted uranium and its use at the Lake City Army Ammu-nition Plant at the Reclamation Advisory Board meeting Tues-day night.

The meeting begins at 7 p.m. in Building 6, just inside the main entrance to Lake City at the junction of Missouri 7 and 78. The meeting is open to the public.

Lake City staff and representatives of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission will respond to questions raised at the last RAB meeting about the possibility of depleted uranium particles traveling off the plant site.

A representative of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry will also be on hand to speak about the Lake City health assessment released last year. RAB members had questioned some details of the report, including the methods used for data collection.

Also on Tuesday's agenda, Lake City officials will present a status report on clean-up projects in the Northeast corner. Staff will preview new water treatment technologies being considered for the clean-up.
