NRC regulations fall short, however, in controlling low-level radioactive wastes being discharged into municipal sewer systems, possibly putting treatment plant workers, plant property, and the general public at risk. Exposure to treatment plant sludge, ash, and related by-products can occur in a variety of ways.

Three and a half years after the shutdown of the Sequoyah Fuels Uranium Processing facility, workers are still sprinkling its waste, diluted by rain, from a holding pond at the rate of 10 million gallons a year. It is called Raffinate and is registered as a fertilizer with the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture.
