Yikes! Best do some research on this to see what the consequences may be! Are we safe, I wonder?

The incident occurred in the 200 East Area near the PUREX (Plutonium Uranium Extracation Plant) Facility... Washington state.

Is it true Hanford operated for years (forever?) without a containment building? And that it's the filthiest nuclear site in the country?

“Hot radioactive trains”?

Must have put some super chargers on them.

I had a “hot car” when I was young.

Didn’t have a garage and it sat out in the sun all day.

Plant workers were advised to avoid eating and drinking. There is a double-secret code order to avoid breathing too.

Susannah Frame‏Verified account @SFrameK5 14m14 minutes ago Clarification: collapse at Hanford is connected to PUREX building – plutonium uranium extraction plant, not the plutonium finishing plant

I live in Washington state, but far upwind of Hanford.

Hanford has a long history of trouble.

Shelter in place instructions have been issued, and are very rare even at Hanford.

If it turns out that plutonium particles have escaped (possible, but not confirmed) then this could be the worst yet.

"The AP reports no workers were in the tunnel at the time of collapse. Workers at the site have now been evacuated. Workers farther away were told to remain indoors.

A manager sent a message to all personnel telling them to "secure ventilation in your building" and "refrain from eating or drinking."

They store hot train cars in a tunnel that is not reinforced?

Who thinks that is a good idea?

Interesting and disturbing. A quick google search shows the same plant had a leak of liquid nuclear waste from a holding tank. This happened April 16, 2016.

It was noted that this particular tank was failing since 2011. Following the 2016 incident the DOE’s reaction was ...

The U.S. Department of Energy released a statement Monday calling the leak an “anticipated” outcome of an ongoing effort to empty the tank in question. The Washington state Department of Ecology said, “There is no indication of waste leaking into the environment or risk to the public at this time.”
