Fire Threatens Nuclear Reservation .c The Associated Press YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) - A wildfire on the Hanford nuclear reservation jumped a state highway Wednesday afternoon, closing the road and threatening a building containing radioactive waste. The flames crossed pushed into an area where waste is stored from the production of plutonium for nuclear weapons, prompting the U.S. Department of Energy to declare an emergency. The fire had been burning in arid sagebrush that makes up most of the 560-square-mile reservation in southeastern Washington since it was sparked by a car wreck Tuesday. It was estimated at 27,000 acres Wednesday morning, but had grown substantially. The threatened building is an analytical laboratory where nuclear and hazardous waste samples are stored, said Michael Minette of the Hanford Joint Information Center. He could not say how far the flames were from the building. Earlier Wednesday, smoke spread across the area leaving some workers complaining of respiratory problems and sending two to a local hospital for treatment, said Michael Turner, spokesman for Fluor Hanford, a reservation contractor. About 1,700 Hanford workers were either sent home early Wednesday or told not to report for their evening shifts. Hanford was established as part of the secret Manhattan Project to build an atomic bomb during World War II. Today, its mission is cleaning up radioactive and hazardous waste created during 40 years of plutonium production for the nation's nuclear arsenal.
