Hanford is a rather complex situation. It is the USA's largest and worst nuclear waste dump and ALSO has toxic chemicals dumped there too. Bechtel has most of the contract for 'clean up' and burial. People still work there, though it is semi-officially closed. It is really a complex of locations and it doesn't surprise me that many are suffering from chemical and nuclear exposures. What went on there [and to a limited extent still does] has been kept from the American People - as most everything there was top secret weapons production. Even the groundwater in the area has been polluted and parts of the complex is near a very large river [Columbia]....it is a total mess and likely can never been cleaned up effectively. All humans should be removed and even animals should be discouraged from passing through or living there.
