Control of Toxic Pollutants Since the early 1980s, EPA s water quality standards guidance placed increasing importance on toxic pollutant control. The agency urged states to adopt criteria into their standards for priority toxic pollutants, particularly those for which EPA had published criteria guidance. EPA also provided guidance to help and support state adoption of toxic pollutant standards with the Water Quality Standards Handbook (1983) and the Technical Support Document for Water Quality Toxics Control (1985 and 1991).

Along with the regulatory development, EPA prepares criteria documents which provide technical support for the final rules. These criteria documents identify fundamental information regarding health effects of contaminants in drinking water. Health-effects-related data such as physical and chemical properties, toxicokinetics, human exposure, health effects in animals and humans, mechanisms of toxicity, and quantification of toxicological effects are evaluated and serve as supporting documentation for the MCLGs. ... 

In 2002-2003 KAERI together with the BATAN (Indonesia) and the IAEA performed a two-year programme of the Preliminary economic feasibility study of nuclear desalination in Madura Island, Indonesia under the framework of IAEA Technical Cooperation Project. The primary objective of this programme was to examine the economic viability of construction of a nuclear desalination plant with SMART in the Madura Island to support industrialization of the Madura Region. Milestones for the construction of a nuclear desalination plant with SMART reactor were established under an agreement between the BATAN and KAERI. The utility requirement documents (URDs) for nuclear desalination in Indonesia are under preparation. Two units of the SMART nuclear power plant are considered to supply 200 MW of electricity and 40,000 tons of potable water per day. The timeline targeted for the plant construction is 2018.
