The Oregon Hanford Cleanup Board met three times in 2001. The agendas for the board’s 2001 meetings focused on Hanford issues that concern Oregon. Meeting topics ranged from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation’s involvement at Hanford to how the Price-Anderson Act would provide insurance coverage for a nuclear incident. Oregon Department of Energy staff, U.S. Department of Energy representatives and contractors as well as staff from the Washington Department of Ecology provided regular briefings on the board’s high priorities: the tank waste treatment and spent nuclear fuel (K Basins) projects and public involvement at Hanford.
