U.S. officials slam
Hanford nuke waste
site problems
RICHLAND,
Wash.
(AP) — Problems first
identified six years ago at a
Washington state plant where
deadly nuclear waste is
supposed to be treated in the
future continue to plague the
multi-billion dollar facility,
U.S. investigators have said.
The Tri-City Herald
reports that the Government
Accountability Office said
in a report released Tuesday
that the site’s contractor,
Bechtel National, has not
fully completed planned
actions.
And the corrections that
have been made have not
prevented continuing quality
assurance problems. The
report also criticized the
Department of Energy for its
oversight of the project.
The $17 billion plant has
been under construction
since 2002 to turn up to 56
million gallons of radioactive
waste into a glass form that
would be buried at another
site. The waste is a leftover
from the past production of
plutonium for the nation’s
nuclear weapons program.
The sprawling Hanford
site in eastern Washington
state is temporarily storing
the radioactive and toxic
wastes in underground tanks
on the site.
It’s owned by the Energy
Department, which hires

onto the sidewalk Tuesday after they were blocking the road and causing a
late morning traffic backup on the Seventh Street Bridge Grants Pass.
PORTLAND (AP) — Some
65 positions at the headquarters of
Oregon’s largest school district have
been slashed in a major reorganization.
The Oregonian/OregonLive reports
according to records obtained by the
newspaper, 31 people were laid off and
30 vacant jobs were eliminated. Four
additional employees resigned, retired
or transferred within the district.
Superintendent Guadalupe
Guerrero announced the cuts Monday.
Communications, information
technology and operations took
significant hits. The senior director of
equity and partnerships, the deputy
human resources officer position and
the senior directors of curriculum and
instruction and teaching and learning
were also eliminated.
Guerrero’s announcement blamed
the reorganization on budget woes,
saying it was necessary to slash central
office to avoid cuts to schools.
Two high-level employees, Chief
Operating Officer Jerry Vincent and
Chief Strategic Officer Laura Parker,
resigned amid the reorganization.
OSU student sets fire,
jumps out dorm window
CORVALLIS (AP) — Oregon
State University authorities say a
student experiencing a mental health
crisis set a fire in his dorm room
before jumping from the fifth floor
window.
University officials say Oregon
State Patrol troopers responded to
campus in Corvallis Tuesday evening
involving the welfare of a student and
resident of Hawley Hall.
OSU’s vice president for marketing
and university relations Steve Clark
told the Gazette Times that there
were statements made that could
be construed as aggressive and
threatening so officials weren’t taking
anything for granted.
The Oregonian/OregonLive reports
that Clark says the unidentified male
student jumped from the dorm’s top
floor around 10:30 p.m. He was then
taken into custody and to a hospital.
Clark did not know the student’s
condition.
The fire was extinguished by
sprinklers in the dorm.
DONATE YOUR CAR
private contractors to manage
the cleanup work.
Hanford was established
during World War II and
made the plutonium for
the atomic bomb dropped
on Nagasaki, Japan. The
560-square-mile site also
made most of the plutonium
for the nation’s nuclear
arsenal during the Cold War.
The accountability office
recommended
ordering
Bechtel to find out the full
extent of problems at the
vitrification plant that would
turn the waste into molten
glass.
The office’s report also
said Energy Department
employees are under pres-
sure to get part of the plant
up and running and that two
quality assurance experts
said department managers
and Bechtel prioritize cost
and sticking to schedules
more than identifying poten-
tial problems.
The investigators said
Energy Department officials
should halt work in areas in
which construction quality
problems are recurring.
In a written response to
the report, Energy Depart-
ment Assistant Secretary for
Environmental Management
Anne White said plant
working conditions meet all
established requirements.
Bechtel did not comment,
referring the Energy Depart-
ment’s response to the report.

WALLA WALLA, Wash.
(AP) — A disability advocate
organization is suing Washington
State Penitentiary, claiming it keeps
low-risk inmates with mental illness
in cells for 16 hours a day and limits
their recreational activities so they can
receive treatment.
The Walla Walla Union-Bulletin
reports Disability Rights Washington
filed the suit Monday claiming
the prison has violated the federal
Americans with Disabilities Act by
keeping these inmates in high-security
units.
The organization began looking
into the matter late last year after
receiving complaints from inmates
who claimed their mental-health
treatment at the facility was different
to other prisons.
The organization’s attorney Heather
McKimmie says the penitentiary
doesn’t offer some of the programs
that inmates need to complete their
sentences.

BRIEFLY
WALLA WALLA, Wash. (AP)
— A 21-year-old man has pleaded
not guilty to first-degree murder and
unlawful possession of a firearm in
the shooting death of a man over an
alleged drug debt.
The Union-Bulletin reports Robert
G. Sregzinski pleaded not guilty
Monday in connection with the death
of 34-year-old Gabriel Rodriguez in
Walla Walla.
In a probable cause statement
filed in Walla Walla Superior Court,
police say Sregzinski shot and killed
Rodriguez April 21, 2016.
Court records say Sregzinski was
involved in a shootout with Milton-
Freewater police a week later after he
fled from a traffic stop.
He is currently serving a 10-year
sentence in Oregon for attempted
aggravated murder, unlawful use of a
weapon and menacing in connection
with that incident.
