Hanford nuclear site is America's most toxic place

The Hanford site in Washington state was part of the Manhattan project, and the home to the first full-scale plutonium production reactor in the world. The plutonium produced there was used in the first nuclear bomb, which was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan. The site is now mostly decommissioned, and is the most contaminated place in the Western Hemisphere. Radiation, toxic chemicals, heavy metals, asbestos … you name it, and it’s at Hanford. Our ongoing coverage of the site and the clean-up is here:

I spent two weeks at this site. Glad I won’t be going back after watching this.

There are people swimming in the Columbia River within the nuclear site damage zone. Matter of fact in Oregon entire town was moved and abandoned and the river over took it now everything is built on the hill and people swim in the lagoon
