The Energy Northwest executive board is hiring an outside attorney to investigate allegations in unsigned letters sent in the past few weeks to some board members.

The letters allege information about sub-par performance of the nuclear power plant near Richland is being hidden from Energy Northwest governing boards, employees and the public.

Although unsigned, the letters say they are from a group of unnamed Energy Northwest employees.

“The executive board takes this matter very seriously,” said Sid Morrison, executive board chairman, in a letter sent to employees Thursday.

1. This helps me sleep! NOT!

Being downstream of Hanford, I hate to even read stories about it. I know someone who was hired to do some cleanup for them and he said the things they were exposed to were insane. That was after St. Helens blew.

2. Hanford is and has been a nightmare for many years

Who knows how many cover ups have gone on over the years.

Plus Hanford is hoarding nuclear waste.
