I'm studying Environmental Engineering and Can Confirm: this place is a disaster waiting to catch wider attention. Nuclear waste is currently leaking into the groundwater and has been for years because some genius in the 40s decided that single layer metal underground storage tanks will definitely never rust out and leak. Spoiler: they did. The radiation is currently within 10 years of reaching the Colombia river in troubling amounts. The government and cleanup agencies are in a stalemate about what to do about the high level nuclear waste (the really bad stuff). Low level waste processing is going slower than expected. This place is a nightmare and will/has caused untold damage . I hope there is good progress made in the cleanup effort in the next 30 years. Fun fact: the federal government is planning on funding cleanup into the 2090's. As they should.

It's work... not much to add. Scenery changes depending on where you are.

Waiter took over an hour to take our order, my burger was burnt to a crisp and my kids chicken nuggets were basically raw. Do not eat here.

What a great place. If only the public new how clean energy really works. We'd have nuclear power plants everywhere.

You can't even enter the place to begin with unless if you have some government clearance to do so.

I recently moved to Moses lake wa. Is it safe to live so close to Hanford?

Charlina Macri | Jul 24, 2022
Brian Hilgert | Jul 24, 2022

Yes, it is. Hanford is no longer producing anything and is in cleanup mode. While there is still a chemical/radiological hazard, the hazard is localized and poses little threat to the surrounding area. The biggest threat currently would probably be to ground water.

how hard is it to be ingested by chemical run off? the gov says water will bring levels down to 50 percent and it was in the 1990s so its long gone those surrounding cities are cooking right now. Thats a mess only the incredible hulk can clean up

It's more of a job for Ironman.

How do we get rid of this?

Danika Enfield | Aug 23, 2020
Matthew Monroe | Aug 23, 2020

The Hanford site cleanup has been going on for 20 years and will continue for 20+ more years. The amount of waste generated was astronomical and the containment procedures required are not inconsequential. How do we get rid of it? Glassification of the liquid waste and proper disposal of the solids. The solid waste disposal is mostly done. Glassification has not yet started.
