Has there been anything more said about some of the soup basins.  These are 
basins of liquid waste that no one knows whet is in them.  Last I heard 
several were heating up rapidly and they were trying to cool them down.  If 
they get too hot the least they would do is pour over into the Columbia, 
the worst is a chemical explosion in a huge soup of unknown radioactive waste.

Hanford has been the site of numerous nuclear experiments since the early 
40s long before anyone really worried about contamination.  At one time 
they released plutonium into the air just to see where it went.
