More nuclear waste leaking in WA

Six underground tanks holding radioactive waste are leaking at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in eastern Washington. It was unclear how long the additional tanks have been leaking. One of the 177 tanks at the site was leaking radioactive waste liquids at a rate of 150 to 300 gallons per year since interim stabilization of Hanford’s tanks was completed in 2005. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/23/us/underground-nuclear-tanks-leaking-in-washington-state.html?ref=us
