Summary On behalf of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission's Hanford nuclear facility located in Richland, WA, General Electric hosts a forum largely to inform the public of scientific aspects at the facility. Tonight's first guest is Dr. Richard F. Foster, the facility's Manager of Aquatic Biology Division. He discusses his team's work on the effects of the facility's effluent, which contains minute amounts of radioactive material, on the ecology of where that effluent drains, the Columbia River, their goal to ensure that that radioactive material is at a safe level and is not harming the ecology. The second guest is Columbia High School senior Doyle Burke, the grand prize winner of last year's Mid-Columbia Science Fair. While his winning entry was a dog skeleton which is presented here on the forum, he is asked his opinion about atomic energy. View more details
