The rest of the world is not paying attention to the ongoing disaster at the Hanford nuclear site in Washington state.. I have been, and a brief search in the archives of this site, and you’ll find some mentions.
This link being reported today is actually days old—not to my credit at all, but I completely missed it this weekend.
Apparently a pipe explosion occurred at the plant weeks ago—something the public was never told about. NBC RIGHT NOW reported this from Washington state:
The Hanford union representative says it happened when workers were cutting some pipe as part of the demolition of the Plutonium Finishing Plant.
The union representative wants to remain anonymous and says workers are concerned management isn’t putting worker safety first."Having a pipe explode at probably the most contaminated facility in the United States. This is one of the most hazardous buildings in the U.S." said the Union representative.
It has gotten to the point now where management called the pipe issue a ‘small pop’ while workers describe it as a shutgun blast.
A blast not heard around the world..
