Hundreds of workers were in "take cover" position after a tunnel in a plutonium finishing plant collapsed in Hanford early Tuesday morning. The tunnel was full of highly contaminated materials such as hot radioactive trains that transport fuel rods.

A source said that crews doing road work nearby may have created enough vibration to cause the collapse.

A manager sent a message to all personnel telling them to "secure ventilation in your building" and "refrain from eating or drinking."

A source also said that Vit Plant employees are in cover mode as well.

The AP reports "there are concerns about subsidence in the soil covering railroad tunnels."

They are taking samples of the area right now. No report of radiological release.

If you want to delete/move this post that would be okay!

For many years the government just dumped that shit in the Columbia river, I wouldn't be surprised at all if there are radioactive hotspots around Washington and Oregon from the 40s.
It is both daunting and comical to me that they give tours of that shithole, it even has a yelp page.Lol
Seriously google it...
