Yeah. I'm not sure we have a functional federal "justice" system anymore.
At least as far as:
1) "law enforcement",
2) Prosecutors (persecutors?),
3) DOJ in general (eg, Pam Bondi)
4) Judges (eg, Aileen Cannon and Clarance "I'm on the take" Thomas), and
5) legal representation (eg, 💰 = better lawyers & more favorable treatment).

As of yesterday evening, I had things nice set. Most stuff in iCloud, some on the computer. That left tens of GB of open space on the computer.
Overnight iCloud started down loading to fill that open space.

7. Why not remove the waste from the tunnel?
a. It's stable and not entering the environment as is.
b. Moving it increases risk to workers/public.
c. It would be buried someplace else on the Hanford site.
d. More cost-effective to spend tax dollars on high-risk cleanup.
8. For your reading pleasure, this report is, as best I know, accurate.

4. The collapsed section was backfilled with dirt/sand to restore radiation shielding.
5. Part of the failure mechanism was around 55 years of intense radiation degrading the wood roof beams.
6. Grouting is a good option since the waste is contained and isn't leaking.

Ah! The PUREX Tunnels! Odd facts the news didn't tell you:
1. All the waste (in the tunnels) is contained in stainless steel equipment and isn't leaking into the environment.
2. There was no contamination spread when the roof of PUREX Tunnel No. 1 failed. (see No. 1 above.)
3. There was a were high radiation levels from the collapse. That's how it was detected during routine surveillance at PUREX.
