Radioactive contamination found in workers' car filters, says Hanford watchdog

RICHLAND, WA -- Hanford Challenge is calling for an independent study of the threat that radioactive contamination might pose to the Tri-Cities from the Hanford nuclear reservation.

On Tuesday it released a research report by Marco Kaltofen, an engineer with Boston Chemical Data Corp., who has been collecting Hanford-area samples at times since at least 2008.

His latest report found “modest but detectable level(s)” of radioactive material that had collected on the air filters of three vehicles belonging to Hanford workers.

The vehicles had been checked and cleared to leave the Hanford nuclear reservation, where they had been at the Plutonium Finishing Plant.

1. The tri-cycle herald won't say shit against the feds

I grew up there 50+ years ago, and I've never seen the TCH say a thing against the Hanford Complex and all it's various subcontractors. It has always taken a West Side media firm like the Seattle Times or King 5 to expose the hypocrisy that emanates from that desert community. If you live there, don't believe the crap your being fed by that rag- look every where else.
