It was always clear that storing killer radioactive liquid waste in underground
basins at Hanford was more than insanity. One look at the location of
the Hanford facility to the nearby Columbia River made it obvious that
the potential for the release of deadly radioactive swill from the facility
was a real possibility. Looks like that day is fast approaching...

- I saw on CNN earlier this evening a report
that 5 tanks that contain some of deadliest substances on the Earth have
leaked into the ground reaching the ground water. The claim was made that
these substances will reach the Columbia River within 7 years. Well, if
I am not mistaken by my knowledge of the Hanford, Washington Nuclear installation,
I do believe this site ajoins the Columbia River for quite a distance.
To all of you who live downstream of the Hanford, Washington Nuclear facility
I suggest you acquire a supply of water purification tablets that contain
iodine which is the only way I know of to safely protect yourself for a
period of time from the effects of Radiation Poisoning. I have yet to see
this report on the CNN web site. This may come out tommorrow or it could
have been a 'one time report' that CNN is so adept at using from time to
time.

- I saw a CNN report tonite that talked
about the contaminated radioactive groundwater plume to reach the Columbia
River. Hanford is located on the Columbia river north of Richland, Washington.
Many communities lie between it and the ocean (how about the little town
of Portland?) and also lots of very large agricultural projects pump irrigation
water out of the Columbia downstream from Hanford. (Coming soon: glowing
fruits and vegetables? -ed).
