Description: On the banks of the Pacific Northwest's greatest river lies the ì Hanford nuclear reservation, an industrial site that appears to ì be at odds with the surrounding vineyards and desert. The ì 586-square-mile compound on the Columbia River is known both for ì its origins as part of the Manhattan Project, which made the ì first atomic bombs, and for the monumental effort now under way ì to clean up forty-five years of waste from manufacturing ì plutonium for nuclear weapons. Hanford routinely makes the news, ì as scientists, litigants, administrators, and politicians argue ì over its past and its future.
