Cantwell in Richland

Reflecting another of her new responsibilities, congressional oversight of the nation's nuclear sites, Cantwell will stop in Richland on Thursday to discuss accelerated cleanup efforts at the Hanford nuclear site. The $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, also known as the stimulus bill, contains about $2 billion to speed the cleanup of the contaminated site and is expected to save or create 3,000 jobs.
