Whistleblower at vit plant says retaliation continues
By Annette Cary, Tri-City Herald, November 18, 2013

A key official at the Hanford vitrification plant has filed a second legal complaint, saying she continues to suffer retaliation and harassment since filing a whistleblower complaint two years ago.

Donna Busche, the manager of environmental and nuclear safety at the vitrification plant, filed the new complaint with the Department of Labor, naming URS Energy and Construction and Bechtel National as respondents.

Bechtel and URS strongly denied Busche's accusations Monday.

Busche is employed by URS, the primary subcontractor of Bechtel, which holds the Department of Energy contract to build and commission the vitrification plant. "Busche's job is to raise technical and safety issues," including issues that could lead to an unplanned nuclear reaction, according to the second complaint.
