I seriously doubt there are any worker exposures from the Hanford tank farms.  They are an environmental issue, an eye sore and legitimate concern that is being addressed.  Demolishing a Pu finishing plant before anticipated high winds was unnecessary and lead to exposures.  Beryllium is a whole different beast.
