Hanford Exposure..

Sorry I havent posted in a few days, been out at Hanford reservation taking a tour of the first place to manufacture plutonium, which was used on Japan in the second world war. What I didn't know is that Hanford continued to manufacture plutonium until the mid 1980's!!! The United States has 10x the amount of nuclear weapons that the entire world has combined, which means that we more than likely have between 50-80x that as well.
SCARY.
So, I think my focus will be on that for the next couple of entries.
Ill write more tommorow--we are finishing our nuclear weekend with Silkwood.
