The U.S. Department of Energy, Richland Operations Office is currently monitoring an event that is occurring on the Hanford Site at the REDOX facility in the 200 West Area.
The Hanford website says two work crews near the REDOX facility smelled odors while doing work at the area. They reported the odors and a take cover was initiated. As a precaution, 200 West personnel have been directed to go indoors, and access to the Hanford Site has been restricted. No actions are necessary for the public. Crews have responded to the scene and are doing an analysis of what could have caused the odors.
No radiation above background levels and no evidence of chemicals have been detected. The Rattlesnake Barricade has been closed. (KHQ)
