Florida moves forward on radioactive road material as Gov. DeSantis signs the law

June 30, 2023
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has approved a plan to use phosphogypsum, a radioactive waste material, in "demonstration projects." Here, signs block a roadway in Boca Raton during a construction project in 2021.

Conservation groups had urged the governor to veto the bill, saying phosphogypsum would hurt water quality and put road construction crews at a higher risk of cancer.
