This book provides information about the Hanford Nuclear Site in eastern Washington that is now being cleaned up and restored. Hanford was where the Manhattan Project constructed reactors on the Columbia River in the 1940s that produced weapons grade plutonium that was instrumental in ending World War II. Information about the natural resources of Hanford and its present condition are discussed. Sixty Two photos of Hanford’s natural resources including the Columbia River, reactors, waste sites, habitats, and plants and animals are provided. The 570 square miles which make up the Hanford site contains some of the most contaminated land in the United States. At one time nine nuclear reactors were operating on the Columbia River. Most of the reactors were shut down in the early 1970s. The U S Department of Energy which manages the site is now in a clean up mission. Much of the contamination is being identified and removed. Because Hanford was off limits to the public since the early 1940s it contains the largest tract of undisturbed sage brush steppe in the state of Washington and as such has a rich abundance of natural resources. Much of Hanford is now a national monument by presidential decree. The Hanford Reach which is 50 miles of free flowing river is the only place left on the Columbia River where Chinook salmon still spawn naturally. Information and photos about this whole area shows what the site looks like today.

I purchased after touring Reactor B and found the book a nice summary of the land, it's history, and the clean up efforts. The pictures capture the site well.

Hanford 70 Years Later Legacy of Destruction and Restoration Windriver Series Book 1 eBook Dan Landeen Reviews

I liked the book from the history of the Hand Reach
through the harsh acquisition of the actual nuclear site and it's use, to the
plants and wildlife there; with the addition of many pictures. I was astounded
to learn of the amount of waste above and below ground.
The enormity of the work involved in restoring the land is great but worth
the effort to allow the Nez Perce to reclaim their
ancient sacred sites.
I highly recommend this book. The Hanford area is a unique place for many reasons, and it is nice having a book that sets forth so much interesting information along with the beautiful photos.
A good treatment of the general evolution of the Hanford site in time. This is the first of Dan's books on the environmental landscape of the reserve over time. A real "eye-opener" as to what one can expect under these circumstances.
