Hanford nuclear facility
Washington state governor Jay Inslee said the leak of radioactive waste at the Hanford nuclear facility - the first area to produce fuel for atomic bombs during World War II and was closed 25 years ago - "stirring up" public opinion.
After meeting with US Energy Secretary Steven Chu in Washington, DC, Mr. Inslee said: "There is no immediate or near future health risk recorded from these newly discovered leaks. it is only 8km away from the Columbia River, but it is also information that worries Washington people.
According to Mr. Inslee, "this certainly raises serious questions about the integrity of all 149 muddy radioactive waste tanks in Hanford".
He admitted: "We need a new system to transfer waste from these old tanks and expect the Department of Energy to consider options to promote this process."
