Ex-Hanford tech claims company harassed her Scientist blew whistle on safety problems at plant RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) — A nuclear scientist said she was harassed while documenting safety problems of waste facili- ties at the U.S. government's Hanford nuclear-weapons plant. Sonja Anderson is the fifth Hanford employee to say she was harassed following com- plaints over safety issues at the site, located about 300 kilome- tres south of Castlegar. She was a senior engineer from 1987-1990 for Westing- house Hanford Co., the site's main contractor. "In my last year at Westing- house, my house was broken into many times," she said in an interview published Thursday on her telephone line and an extra phone wire was found going into her home, she said. In early 1989, Anderson said, she discovered evidence of major leaks into the soil from nuclear waste and cooling tanks at Han- ford. She also said she spotted hydrogen-gas buildup in another tank.

Westinghouse officials have repeatedly denied Hanford workers were under surveil- lance. Anderson said she was harassed while evaluating haz- ards at the site in preparation for the Tri-Party Agreement. The 1989 pact set cleanup goals for 30 years as agreed upon by the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Environmental Protec- tion Agency and the state of Washington. Anderson said she left West- inghouse last year following dis- putes with her managers about her safety reports. She now works for another company in Richland, documenting safety matters for the Hanford gleanup program. ‘ Like other Hanfomi whistle- blowers, eon said she was followed by men in unmarked vans.
