In Brief: From Staff And Wire Reports
RICHLAND – There is a slow leak in the oldest double-shell waste tank at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation that’s allowing highly radioactive and hazardous waste to leak into the space between the inner and outer shells, the federal Department of Energy said Monday.
No waste is believed to have leaked from the outer shell into the soil beneath the underground tank on the south-central Washington reservation, the agency said.
Earlier testing showed that some of the material seen between the two walls of the tank was radioactive waste, the Tri-City Herald reported. Now DOE has confirmed a leak. While the exact amount isn’t known, the agency said perhaps a couple of tablespoons of additional waste were seen between the two tank walls between Thursday and Sunday.
The tank is one of 28 double-shell containers used to hold waste from older, leak-prone single-shell tanks. They hold 56 million gallons of radioactive waste from the past production of weapons plutonium until it can be treated for disposal.
The tank is roughly 40 years old and contains about 850,000 gallons of sludge and liquid waste.
North Dakota forced to remove school signs
GRAND FORKS, N.D. – Workers are removing the Fighting Sioux sign from outside North Dakota’s hockey arena after a years-long fight with the NCAA.
Large white letters reading “Home of the Fighting Sioux” were being taken down Monday at Ralph Engelstad Arena in Grand Forks.
It’s one of six signs that must be removed under an agreement with the NCAA in the controversy about whether the school’s nickname and logo were insensitive to local American Indian tribes. The logo depicts an American Indian warrior.
Arena spokesman Chris Semrau told the Grand Forks Herald that removing the sign will take most of the week. It’ll be replaced next month with one reading “Home of North Dakota Hockey.”
