Letter: Worried about nuclear contamination in Pasco

There has been no real progress in the cleanup project at Hanford. Contamination threatens the Columbia River and the water tables. Funds are being wasted and reduced.

I am planning to buy property in Pasco. Someone, please tell me whether I will be able to obtain mortgage insurance that provides coverage against loss due to subterranean, ground-level and atmospheric nuclear contamination.
