Persistence Paid Off On Hanford Documents
South Carolina researcher Tim Connor says government secrecy is easing for nuclear facility records. The Hanford Dose Reconstruction Project uses 19 000 pages released in February under a Freedom of Information Act request by Connor and Hanford Education Action League. The effort began after officials demanded health studies in 1986, leading to a five year 15 million study in 1988. Connor recalls initial resistance to obtaining a report on the Green Run release in 1949, but Dan Till and Energy Secretary Watkins helped secure access for credibility and public scrutiny.
