Strange smells reported at Hanford nuclear reservation

Employees at a Washington nuclear reservation reported smelling strange odors.

The Tri-City Herald reports eight workers reported the odors Tuesday at AW Tank Farms in Hanford, with three of the workers receiving medical evaluations before being cleared to return to work.

The workers were preparing an empty storage box to receive containerized tank waste samples when they reported smelling a glue-like odor.

Technicians used instruments to examine the area, but did not detect anything above background levels.
