WA State: Officials Probe Possible Leak at Hanford Nuclear Site
---------------------------------------------------------------

In Washington state, authorities are investigating a possible nuclear
waste leak, after radioactive material was found on a worker's clothing.
This comes less than two weeks after the Department of Energy declared a
state of emergency at the Hanford nuclear site after a tunnel storing
contaminated radioactive materials collapsed. Hanford is the nation's
most polluted nuclear weapons production site. Click here to see our
