I lived in Richland (near Hanford) and worked near the facility in an IT contractor position. The mess there is truly awful; they were in such a hurry when they were building the bombs that they basically just threw anything contaminated into huge concrete tanks to worry about later. Those old single-wall tanks are now leaking huge plumes of waste into the Columbia River [1]. The current plan for dealing with much of this waste -- and I am NOT making this up -- is to turn it into GIANT GLASS LOGS.
