About the Site

The Hanford Site, located within a 580-square-mile section of semi-arid desert in Richland, Washington, was established in 1943 as part of the Manhattan Project to produce plutonium for national defense. Here, the DOE focuses on environmental restoration, waste management, scientific and environmental research and development of radioactive waste technologies. Under the Tri-Party Agreement, lower-level hazardous wastes are buried in huge, lined pits that will be sealed and monitored with sophisticated instruments for many years (https://energy.gov).
