This Sept. 13, 2004 file photo shows wildlife Biologist Linda Thurston of Defenders of Wildlife untangling a string of fladry, a non-lethal system for protecting livestock from wolves, on a ranch in the Paradise Valley, Mont. Research shows the flags, often backed up by an electriclaly charged wire, somehow make wolves less likely to cross the line, offering protection for livestock that are bunched up at calving time. For the past year, ranchers in Oregon have had to rely on non-lethal systems like fladry, because a temporary court order has barred wildlife officials from killing wolves that attack livestock. Though the numbers of wolves has risen to 46, the numbers of livetock attacks are down. (AP Photo By Garrett Cheen/The Livingston Enterprise)

FILE - In this August 2012 file photo provided by Wolves of the Rockies, the Lamar Canyon wolf pack moves on a hillside in Yellowstone National Park, Wyo. As the progeny of wolves reintroduced to Yellowstone and central Idaho in 1995 and 1996 spread across the West, an accidental experiment has developed. A temporary court order has made Oregon a wolf-safe zone, where wildlife agents are barred from killing wolves that attack livestock. Over the past year, the numbers of wolves has risen to 46 in Oregon, but livestock attacks have remained static. In neighboring Idaho, the number livestock attacks rose dramatically as the numbers of wolves killed by hunters and wildlife agents also increased. (AP Photo/Wolves of the Rockies, File)

This Sept. 1, 2009 file photo provided by Robert Millage shows his rifle with a wolf he shot on the first day of wolf hunting season along the Lochsa River in Northern Idaho. A temporary court order in Oregon has barred wildlife authorities from killing wolves that attack livestock for the past year. While Oregon has seen wolf attacks on livestock remain static while wolf numbers has risen to 46, Idaho last year saw the numbers of livestock attacks rise dramatically as hunters and wildlife agents killed 422 wolves. Wolf advocates hope tha ccidental experiment will lead other states to reconsider lethal controls as wolves spread through the West. (AP Photo/Robert Millage)

This Feb. 13, 2010 file photo provided by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife shows wolf coordinator Russ Morgan with a female wolf pup just fitted with a radio collar in northeastern Oregon. For the past year, Oregon has been a wolf-safe zone, where a temporary court order bars wildlife officials from killing wolves that kill livestock. While wolf numbers has risen to 46, the number of livestock kills has not. Wolf advocates hope the Oregon experiment can spread elsewhere, especially Idaho, where rising numbers of wolves killed last year was accompanied by a spike in livestock attacks.

FILE -- In this March 23, 2004 file photo, workers at the tank farms on the Hanford Nuclear Reservation near Richland, Wash., measure for radiation and the presence of toxic vapors. Six underground radioactive waste tanks at the nation's most contaminated nuclear site are leaking, Gov. Jay Inslee said Friday, Feb. 22, 2013. Inslee made the announcement after meeting with federal officials in Washington, D.C. Last week it was revealed that one of the 177 tanks at south-central Washington's Hanford Nuclear Reservation was leaking liquids. Inslee called the latest news "disturbing."
