Attorney General Says DOE Should not Get More Time to Empty Hanford Tanks

摘要

The U.S. Department of Energy should not be given additional time to empty the next group of Hanford Nuclear Reservation waste storage tanks, according to state Attorney General Bob Ferguson. Earlier this month, the Energy Department proposed extending deadlines for retrieving radioactive waste from nine leak-prone tanks for one year, giving it until fall 2023 to complete the work.
