UPDATE: Odors reported outside TX Farm on 10/18/17

Access has been restored to the area near TX Farm, in the 200-West Area, where six Hanford workers reported odors yesterday. The action was taken after industrial hygiene technicians collected air samples and results were less than the action level of chemicals evaluated.

None of the six workers experienced symptoms and all declined precautionary medical evaluation. The employees were preparing to perform electrical maintenance at the time of reported odors and were not in an area that requires use of a supplied-air respirator.
