The Tri-Party Agreement agencies are seeking individuals interested in Hanford cleanup issues to fill a Public-at-Large seat on the Hanford Advisory Board.

•1,700 waste sites

“Citizens interested in applying for membership on the HAB are not required to have special expertise about the Hanford site.”
sounds like a scam to get a bunch of “yes men” on the board.

You paranoid boy! I think they just want diverse people involved. Could be naive but they want “average joe” to chip in rather than just have pro-nuke or anti-nuke people tossing in their two cents. The reimbursement alone sounds good. Plan to attend the next Seattle town hall discussion.
