Oregon senator to ask for GAO probe of Hanford nuclear site

The Senator mentioned is Ron Wyden who has long been considered a moron by many of his constituents. In 1997 it was discovered that barrels of nuclear waste was leaking and, somehow, plans to clean up the mess was overlooked, forgotten and swept under the rug.

Now a guy at the University of Washington (a structural engineer who claims to be an "environmentalist and expert on energy issues) has magically "discovered" this an raised a big stink in the State Government. So why didn't he do this in 997?

And how bad is the waste seepage?   The material leaks out onto concrete where it pools.  It is inspected monthly to see if there is any increase or if the material is leading through the concrete slab.  It is and it's not.  In other words the whole thing is NOT new and has long been contained until some idiot Left Winger decided to make an issue of it and ultimately it was handed to a moron in Washington DC to handle.

If recent history tells us anything, nothing will be done with the waste but Obama will try and raise taxes for  "Investment in Infrastructure,"  whatever the hell that is.
