Thus when Washington Governor Dixy Lee Ray early this month shut down her state's Hanford dump, one of the three- such sites available to U.S. producers of low-level radioactive wastes, there was immediate concern in the nuclear medicine departments of hospitals and research centers across the U.S. Some nuclear power plants can use on-site storage areas for radioactive wastes.
