Nerding Out with General Electric
General Electric has always been a leader in technology, industry, and manufacturing.

Last week in the state of Washington a major emergency forced the Hanford nuclear site, Plutonium Uranium Extraction Facility (PUREX), 200 miles outside of Seattle had a major scare. Shortly before 8:30 am, an underground tunnel filled with rail cars and nuclear waste collapsed. The collapse covered about 400 square feet. Thankfully no one was inside of the tunnel when it collapsed, but nearby crew members were evacuated and sent home early. Cleanup for this is estimated to cost more than $107 billion and will take until 2060.
Thankfully no one was hurt in this event, but the cost for clean up alone will destroy the state of Washington and our country as a whole.
