Washington State Officials Fear DOE Plan Downplays Danger of Hanford Waste

摘要

The state of Washington says a new Department of Energy plan would not protect the Columbia River from radioactive waste at Hanford. Washington state's stand, which was announced by the office of Gov. Jay Inslee, is in opposition to the support by two key Tri-City-area groups for DOE's proposal. It follows a similar announcement by the state of Oregon on Monday opposing it.
