Comments due on DOE proposal to ship nation's nuclear waste to Hanford site

From AfD's Portland (OR) chapter:
The US Department of Energy proposes to take the nation's nuclear waste to the Hanford Nuclear Reservation for storage. This will bring 12,000 trucks loads of nuclear waste onto our highways, threatening the health and well being of all.  Other solutions must be found and can be found.
