Title
"Atomic Defense" radio episode
Description
An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on toxic nuclear waste management at Hanford Site, Washington; Aiken, South Carolina; and Idaho Falls, Idaho. He describes how Senator Lindsey Graham proposed the idea of allowing the Energy Department to reclassify radioactive waste, despite the known risk of contamination in the environment. Oregon Senators Ron Wyden and Gordon Smith supported Washington Senator Maria Cantwell's attempt to remove the revision, but the vote was tied. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired in 2004.
