S4E1 Remembering Gary Petersen - Hanford "Force of Nature" -- 01/08/24 -- Former Congressman Doc Hastings, Duane Schmoker, David Reeploeg, Seth Kirshenberg, Carl Adrian

Every DOE community has local leaders who step up to advocate for funding and new missions and to hold the Department of Energy accountable for its cleanup obligations. These leaders take the time to educate themselves on site issues, get to know DOE leaders and members of Congress, and use their voices and influence to represent their communities. In this week’s episode, the Gone Fission Nuclear Report remembers one such leader--Gary Petersen, a long-time passionate advocate for the Hanford site in Washington State, who passed away last October, leaving an impressive legacy of advocacy and support.Paying tribute to Gary are former Congressman Doc Hastings, Duane Schmoker, President, Sterling Engineering, David Reeploeg, Vice President, TRIDEC, Seth Kirshenberg, Executive Director, Energy Communities Alliance, and Carl Adrian, past president, TRIDEC.Visit the Gone Fission Nuclear Report channel on youtube.com for a videocast of  episodes since November 7, 2022.
