A discussion list for liquid nuclear tank waste stored at
the Hanford Site in Washington State. "Nuclear waste stored in tanks at
the Hanford Site represents the greatest radiological/chemical threat to the
environment anywhere in the Western Hemisphere. Over one million gallons--out
of a total of 53 million gallons-- of highly radioactive, extremely toxic
waste have already leaked into the environment. Some of the waste is now in
