The Alliance for Nuclear Accountability gave the Department of Energy a failing grade Monday for its budget proposals for environmental cleanup at Hanford and other nuclear sites.
DOE's budget request for cleanup at Hanford and other sites is $1.5 billion short of meeting environmental obligations and will result in greater risk to water, worker safety and public health, Gerald Pollet, executive director of Heart of America, said in a statement.
New website launched for ill Hanford workers
The website lists professionals, including doctors and home health care providers, in the program, according to the Department of Labor. In addition, the Hanford Resource Center in Richland will work with people on the new Web portal or with their claims for medical benefits.
