Abstract

The production reactors at the Hanford Site in Washington state leave a complicated environmental legacy. This legacy is created from the interaction between wartime considerations, contemporaneous waste disposal norms, and limited knowledge. The site also changed the Tri-Cities area both during and after the project.
