on Question Time
U both believe in Openness and Accountability in Government Agencies. What about the CURRENT appointment of ALL of the Trimet Board (Portland Mass Transit System) by the Govornor, with no qualifications, or confirmation oversight. They even pass budgets, priorities without oversight. The local Press does not cover their Board meetings, and their policiy development is "opeque" at best.
Do both of U favor appointing ALL of Trimets Board being an LOCALLY ELECTED Official from the Tri-Met Area Served (Meyor, Councilman, Commissioner) ?

What part of NO do $ports NOT UNDERSTAND ?
NO to NFL Stadium - 15 years ago
NO to Major League Base Ball (Katz) Stadium 5 years ago
Let them put up and run their own show, with OUT the Taxpayers. Paul Allen runs his OWN Blazers ! GREAT
He pays payroll, maintains HIS Stadium, WITHOUT Taxpayer HELP.
He makes profit / loss. HE is only one involved, as it SHOULD BE.
ITS HIS BUSINESS - LIKE ALL THE OTHER BUSINESSES.
Look at Montral Canada - City NOW owns a dirlect MT Stadium / losses and the team moved.

Unfortunately Hanford can not be held responsible for all the pollutants in a River that drains an area the size of France, as the Columbia River does.
Their are specific Hanford Issues: Cesium, Strontium (on going) and Iridium (minor issue): Iodine - in the past years a big issue and possible harm -Thyroid Cancer. Chemical pollution (on going) -Sodium Hydroxide.
Innocent of Hanford: Mercury ( natural and from farm practices fungiside treatment on wheat and other farm crops) Also used for Gold refining (canada) and their is lead and silver refining (super fund) (Kellogg Idaho) chemicals.
Then there are feedlots run off, and the sewers of Boise, Spokane, Pocotello, Tri-Cities, Yakama, Ellensberg to name but a few.
Windsurfing in Hood River is mile post 120 miles from the end of a 2700 mile sewer.

You should follow though with your investigations; Yes you are a "down winder" it is quite possible Iodine 131 ( decayed off now) may be involved.

Unfortunately Ground water in wells less then 70 feet deep have been contaminated by nitrate poisoning (fertilizer) ia is very wide spread though out the farm belt. Farm practices had over use of fertilzer for decades.
Lupus while rates are high in NW, along with MS, exact or even possible causes, remain unknown.

yes it has been leaking radioactive ground water( Tridium mentioned some posts back) for 30 years.
It is identifiable at the intake to the Columbia River. The sheer volume of the Columbia River makes it undectable when mixed with the Columbia River Water.
Tritium is mildly radioactive ( as a bata decay) behaves chemically identical to hydrogen , and will decay ti Helium. Untraceable amounts ingested would be negligible, as water consumption is so large. The body would process it as water, and be done with it.

Some alarming but, too small statical records;
Tom Bailey (Mesa Farmer) right across Columbia River from Hanford, has some 22 neighbors, that tragically had birth defects, cancer. This is very alarming, and Tom became a leader in the Hanford Down Winders organization. This finding did spak some investigations by several independant organizations.
Equally important (I have a Math/ Stastical experience and background) is these numbers are very low, to be called a "sample" that can quantitatively lead to conclusions. Jerry Pollet of Heart for America, will give more details and backgrounds on these events and Tom Bailey.
>>Statistically when doing Political or marketing surveys, the larger the sample 600 or above, then some highly accurate conclusions may be drawn. But when compared to a sample size of the rural region, or the county, excessive cancer rates has not been satisfactory proved to be Hanford caused.
Reasons for cancer are many; smoking, nitrates (fertilizer) in the water table; farm chemicals now and in the past - DDT and others.
Cancer rates for among past hanford workers, have been above norm. It is important to note that prior to the 1980's Personal Protective Clothing : BREATHING MASKS was OPTIONAL at the decision of the EMPLOYEE;
In a hot desert, around materials that give no taste nor smell, and working hard - its easy to NOT use a MASK. Besides they get in the way of smoking!
Finally not all the hazards were known; Iodine 131 hazards (cows-milk- radiation) was not identified as a significant radioactive pollutant until about 1957. Thats when a English Nuclear (English Design) Reactor at Southworth England, sprung a leak, leaking radioactive Iodine into a Dairy regon of England.

Yes clean up is far, far behind. This comes from budget cuts, and the fact that the issues are absolutely new,, and a "best guess" at success. Its far better than doing nothing, and letting this "brew" decide its own fate. This comes from a political process which changes its spending priorities, almost over night.
It helps to have an open "lay minded citizenship" that can be communitarian with in everyday language - even at the price of "over symplifaction"
Budget cuts, and being aproto - type; the glass log plant is currently 10 years behind compleation. Law suits (normal) and delays and budget cuts are the cause. This one one of the most expensive projects in Washington State.
Positive developments - some are natural.
Radioactive Iodine ( Thyroid Cancer) has decayed off, and no longer is being produced. This happened when Hanford stoped producing plutonuium
Radioactive Tridium (Mutant Hydrogen) has ceased being produced, some ground contamination exists - it has had about a 80% decay into Helium a benign chemical. Otherwise Tridium behaves chemically like Hydrogen and will bond to form water, or any other compond hydrogen does. Existing amounts are small, and do leach into the Columbua River in the form of water -its amount is so low it is not dectectable by moniters at the City Water intake, Richland Washington.
Caeiusm, Stonisum - bone seeker (body will absorb it like calicum) 30 year 1/2 life. Total Decay in about 300 years. So far its been about 18 years - yes it is something to be concerned about, and will be in the future 286 years. Trackable, detectable, measureable these sites have been suceesfully "concuned" in cement - similar to chynobels. In the future it will be safer to dismatle these buildings and reactors as the amounts present decay with time, and in about 300 years will be normal.
Chemicals: The brew in the holding tanks - it is supposed to be made in to glass logs. Will theses logs last long enough ? Not really known. The brew has "everthing" in it so no "quality of standards of ingreadants exist". AND:
As time goes on a radioactive brew will decay, forming new as yet chemical compounds, be they in liquid form (as now) or in glass. So stability of the glass logs, forever is a"devel in the details" issue.
Will these componds cause a nuclear reaction? a bomb ? Highly unlikely, as yeas they are radioactive, and under going decay and transformation; they do NOT contain the nuclear compounds necessary for an atomic reaction ie a bomb.
Those componds were made and removed. They are the most expensive chemical known to man, they were the object of the process. If it were possible to make gold,, then the recovery of Gold would be a priority. Same is the case here - the Ptutonium and Desired Uranium were recovered for manufactureing into bomds and nuclear fuel for power plants, and the Navy submarines and ships.
However, this brew and Nuclear wastes may be a target to make a "dirty bomb". Where radioactive material is used as shrapnel around a normal exposive and cause hysteria in cities or populations who are uneasy with radio active materials. Materials that are quite common in Medical Devises, Quality Industrial X Rays and many other sources.

Hanford clean up: Yes, the project "swings" from "boom budgets" to starvation, on the wims of Congress. People are hired, for programs that get cut. People go to school for 2 years for specialized jobs (me and others), only to have these employment terminated before the first day of paid work. Hanford has a reputation for a "Career Breaker" a poor investment of school, time and money.
These decisions are made by Congrees, and the budget.
Yes cleanup work is behind, they cut and froze and laid-off. The Dept of Energy has NEVER met a agreed deadline- never even close.
Hanford has few friends in Congress. After the "benge days" of budgets guarded by the US Speaker of the House -Tom Foley (3rd most powerful man in nation) D- Washington, his defeat abrupty ended the cost plus contracts and big stable budgets. Now the NW has no senority, and Hanford clean up few champions.

Hanford: Thoughts and Observations from a view of contrasts of different education, values and experiences.
I moved their at the age of 45 (1993) and already had a Liberal Arts Degree from a Jesuit University (Gonzaga - Spokane) also a liberal school. (w honors) (Political Science and Math)
I came to go to school at Columbia Basin College in Applied Nuclear Technology (Nuclear Power - Theory and Operations as well as making Plutonium. The program HAD a history of Graduating its Graduates into well - paid Hanford Jobs upon Graduation. 100% of the Graduates. The Program had virtually not changed in 20 years, and was taught by a US Navy (Ret) Nuclear Teacher. The bottom line was that Nuclear Power would be back, the two non finished Nuclear Plants at the edge of town, were testimony for that future.
Now to answer some of your inquiry:
What was it like ? The Tri-cities is extremely comfortable with Nuclear Issues. Many have the education I have. And more. Do they fear a ?glow? in the night ? No . Do they fear the water from the Columbia that becomes city water ? No it is tested - because of the volume of the Columbia River is so great, the radioactivity is at ?background?.
Do they Trust the Government and the various studies. Yes they have read the studies and believe the risks are not out of the normal population. The Media condenses the summaries? of the conclusions, and ?sound bites? the out come. This leads to misunderstanding Dose Survey ($$$$$ Expensive) as an example.
The survey presumes every one drank the milk from the cows that ate the iodine exposed grass. The area shown is mostly desert, and had very few cows. Milk was shipped in from else where for human consumption.
The Tri-Cities depends on Hanford for its economic life. Just like many of Oregons Timber Towns. They feel threatened, and do not seek outside ideas. The ONLY Education that is valued is SCIENCE.
They fear the politics (budget cuts) that can be given to the ?primary employer?. Politically sine the Democratic Party is viewed as hostile to Nuclear Power, they overwhelmingly Republican.
The Politics are not sophisticated - it comes down to for/against and that?s it. Many ?non mainstram religions? are in the Tri-cities. In many ways it is 1957, Life is simple, do not question. Enjoy the 4 seasons of SUN, a good pay check, have a family, and WATCH SPORTS.
SPORTS is safe,like the weather and non-controversial. If a game is not on now, they will have last years on TV.
Politics have been cruel to the Tri-Cities, leading to a BOOM ^ followed by a bust economy. Broken Carieers and promices and abandoned projects guard the desert at Hanford.
It seems the government has a hard time making and keeping ?long term? policies, ask an American Indian or watch Social Security in the future.

Govs Budget: The working poor have already paid. Elimnate the 2nd home mortgage deduction (unique to oregon).
Globalize the income packages for our $70 K teachers and $ 150 k administrators.
The rest of the people in Oregon got Globalized 12 years ago. Thats why income tax revenue is down. We already got a tax cut, AND and Income cut in Oregon.
Its time for the Education Interests to "pay" and become equal.
Bill Clinton said the cut was 48.7 % - so educators have saome cathing up to do.
