DEAR GOD WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!!! Wait.. Nevermind.

Now keep in mind that this is the town that I was born in and my dad still works at Hanford on the clean up effort.

RICHLAND, Wash. - A radiation alarm sounded at Hanford Wednesday afternoon, but it appeared to be a false alarm, Energy Department officials said. The alert sounded at the K East Basin. It was not immediately known what caused the continuous air monitor alarm to go off, prompting a "take cover" order in the 100 Area, about 40 miles north of here, said Erik Olds, an Energy Department spokesman. Environmental health staff surveyed the area and found no evidence of personnel contamination or radiological release, he said.

Then the article comes to the good part

The K Basins hold what has been called Hanford's "nastiest fuel" -- 2,100 metric tons of spent fuel, including 4 tons of plutonium.

Lets hear it for the Isotopes! Woo! You read that right 2,100 metric TONS of spent nuclear fuel rods. This shit is going to be glowing for long after the human race is off the planet. And to think that Detroit is proud of their cars.

Also let's keep in mind that this is a Western Washington news station that has been spreading anti Hanford hysteria since Hiroshima.

Now for the record I am actually pro nuclear power but damn! I am become Death, The shatterer of Worlds.
