    It's a good thing they didn't put that near the Columbia River.

    There apparently has been no release of radiation and no workers were injured, said Randy Bradbury, a spokesman for the Washington state Department of Ecology.

    The emergency was declared at 8:26 a.m., according to an announcement on the Energy Department's website. An alert came from the 200 East Area, the department said. Access to the area has been restricted.

    There is a 20 square foot area of sunken soil over a tunnel near the site's Plutonium Uranium Extraction plant -- also known as PUREX, the department said at about 10:15 a.m. The department initially said the sunken area was four square feet.

    ...

    The sprawling Hanford site is near Richland and is half the size of Rhode Island.

    The 200 East Area contains the Plutonium Uranium Extraction Plant, a facility built in the 1950s that is no longer used today, according to the Department of Energy. The plant processed plutonium from 1956 to 1972, and again from 1983 to 1988.

    Psst... it was Hanford who declared the emergency. If Hanford declares an emergency it should be taken seriously.
