Hanford tunnel breach confirmed in emergency at nuclear reservation
An emergency has been declared in central Hanford in Eastern Washington state Tuesday after the roof of a tunnel used to store highly radioactively contaminated waste collapsed. Several thousand workers at the Hanford nuclear reservation were told to take shelter in buildings. About 1:35 p.m. non-essential workers north of Hanford’s Wye Barricade were told to go home. Swing shift was canceled for much of the site. ... No one was being allowed to enter the site beyond the security barricades and flights over the reservation were restricted for much of the morning.
