More Leaks Reported at Washington State Nuclear Site 
-----------------------------------------------------


 
More radioactive leaking has been discovered at Washington state's
Hanford Nuclear Reservation, the nation’s most polluted nuclear
weapons production site. At least six tanks are now leaking radioactive
waste, up from last week's disclosure of just one tank. Hanford
currently houses more than 53 million gallons of radioactive waste.
Washington state officials insist the leak poses no immediate risk to
public health.
