Hanford Cleanup – Past, Present and Future
by Washington Department of Ecology

The Hanford nuclear reservation in southeastern Washington – called the most contaminated site in North America – presents a paradox of massive contamination next to a river preserved in its natural state. The site borders the Hanford Reach of the Columbia River – made a National Monument because of the Reach’s pristine beauty. Speakers cover some Hanford history, provide an update on cleanup and discuss future career opportunities while pondering long term stewardship with students.
