SEATTLE (AP) — Washington state is suing the federal government again over cleanup at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. This time the state is suing over the danger posed to workers by vapor releases from underground waste storage tanks.
In a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday, state Attorney General Bob Ferguson says the U.S. Department of Energy has known about the problem of vapors sickening workers at the site since the late 1980s, but hasn't fixed it. There were more than 50 reports of workers being exposed to vapors between January 2014 and April 2015.
