Send the EPA in to clean it up.
They've been at loose ends since they fixed the toxic waste problem at the Gold King Mine last August.....
Pretty sure after the feds step in we won’t hear anymore about it. Time to buy a geiger counter...
Hanford is a federal facility going all the way back to the Manhatten Project.
Had a friend who worked for a contractor that was decommissioning the older buildings on the reservation. All the work was being done with remotely controlled robots because of the heavy, heavy radioactivity. Nothing came offsite, just simply broken down, consolidated, packaged, and stored. When the radiation would finally finish off a robot, it was just abandoned in place and another one sent in to pickup where it stopped. He ultimately moved onto more interesting work, but the work will go on for. centuries.
The only plus side is that because of the reservation’s very restricted access and human avoidance of radioactivity, Hanford is a massive wildlife preserve like Chernobyl has become.
It’s a federal facility. The federal nuclear facilities have more problems than you can shake a stick at.
Guess who’s not regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission?
