The chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee is calling for an assessment of the cost of halting work because of safety problems at Hanford's vitrification plant and tank farms. "The committee is assessing whether DOE's contractors should be held financially accountable for the costs of any schedule delays and cost overruns due to their failure to adhere to nuclear safety and other requirements," said a letter signed by Chairman John Dingell and four other committee members, including Rep. Jay Inslee, D-Wash.
