KIRO: Officials at the nation’s most contaminated nuclear site are considering a number of options to deal with six leaking waste tanks there
Senator Doug Erickson: “I think the most important thing that we heard today is currently there is no threat to human life and health to the Tri Cities area and throughout Washington state.”
KIRO: All of [Hanford's 149] single-shell tanks have been declared unfit and must be emptied and removed. Six tanks are leaking. The radioactive material in the tanks is extremely reactive and always changing, so draining them could be dangerous. The long-term plan to deal with the problem is to build a chemical treatment plant.
