Let the U.S. Dept. of Energy know that we want CLEAN up at Hanford.
Make your voice heard now to advocate to clean up the Hanford Nuclear Site, the most contaminated site in the Western Hemisphere.
Dear U.S. Dept. of Energy,
I urge you to prioritize a thorough clean up at the Hanford Nuclear Site. Hanford cleanup is at a crossroads, with increased pressure for nuclear development threatening to derail a thorough and protective cleanup. I am concerned that efforts to develop nuclear energy, coupled with federal deregulation of safety and oversight are impacting the Hanford cleanup.
Under these pressures, DOE cannot simply prioritize projects that show quick, short term progress and forgo a cleanup that will be truly protective of people and the environment long term.
Cleanup of Hanford is an effort to protect cold, clean water for generations. DOE must prioritize people and the environment when making clean up decisions today.
Sincerely,
Funded in part by a public participation grant from the Washington State Department of Ecology.
