Bechtel and the DOE were fined by the Washington Department of Ecology for hazardous waste violations. “The U.S. Department of Energy and a Hanford contractor have been fined $5,000 for hazardous waste violations including an incident when pressure built up inside a drum resulting in the drum lid popping into the air, narrowly missing workers.
