What concern did Senator Patty Murray express about layoffs at the Hanford nuclear site?

Senator Patty Murray, a Washington Democrat, expressed grave concern that the Trump administration had begun indiscriminately laying off workers at the Hanford nuclear site in Washington State. She warned that attempting to operate Hanford with a 'skeleton crew' creates a dangerous situation that could lead to disaster with potentially irreversible consequences. The senator's statement highlights the serious safety implications of reducing staff at one of the world's most contaminated nuclear sites. These layoffs affect critical cleanup and security personnel, potentially compromising the safe management of hazardous nuclear materials and threatening both environmental safety and infrastructure reliability in the Pacific Northwest.
