S4E3 The Birth of the Nuclear Cleanup Caucus - 02/12/24 - Former Congressmen Doc Hastings (WA) and Zach Wamp (TN)

Consistent, reliable Congressional funding is an essential element of success in the Department of Energy’s environmental cleanup program. In this week’s episode of the Gone Fission Nuclear Report podcast, host Michael Butler interviews two former members of Congress who were instrumental in creation of the Nuclear Cleanup Caucus in the mid-1990s. Our guests are former Washington State Congressman Doc Hastings, whose district included the Hanford site, and former Tennessee Congressman Zach Wamp who represented Oak Ridge. Over the past 30 years, the Caucus has worked diligently to educate fellow members about the importance of cleanup and to keep funding flowing to meet site cleanup priorities across the country.Visit the Gone Fission Nuclear Report channel on youtube.com for a videocast of  episodes since November 7, 2022.
