EPA reviewing renewed application for radioactive source storage at Houston – Parsram

Head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Kemraj Parsram on Mon-day confirmed that his agency is currently reviewing Schlumberger Guyana Inc’s renewed application to operate a radioactive (RA) source storage and calibration facility at Houston on the East Bank of Demerara.

The new application came after the High Court issued an edict last Decem-ber against the operations, citing breaches by the EPA in the application of its governing Act.

Speaking briefly with Stabroek News on Monday, Parsram said the company acted in accordance with the December 2022 court order when it filed its new application.
