Inspections Lead To Hanford Fine - (HANFORD) -- Hanford has 
been hit with a 367-thousand dollar fine... the largest in the nuclear 
site's history-- after a lengthy U-S Environmental Protection 
Agency inspection. Mike Bussell is director of chemical and waste 
management at E-P-A's regional headquarters in Seattle. He says 
the inspection reaffirmed the Department of Energy is still not 
exercising the degree of control needed to protect the environment. 
Most of the violations the inspection turned up involved improper 
handling and storage of radioactive materials.
