Whistleblower at Nuclear Site Fired from Her Job 
-------------------------------------------------


 
A whistleblower who spoke out about safety concerns at a nuclear weapons
site in Washington state has been fired from her job. Donna Busche had
complained of retaliation after filing safety complaints related to the
cleanup of the Hanford nuclear site, which is the most polluted nuclear
weapons site in the United States. She was fired from the San
Francisco-based firm URS Corp on Tuesday. At least two other top project
officials at the site have reportedly been fired or left under pressure
after raising safety concerns.
