The US will “cocoon” 8 weapons-grade, plutonium production reactors at Hanford, Washington, site of the largest quantity of radioactive waste. The long-term storage allows radiation levels to subside. But left-over liquid wastes will require 660 BILLION dollars to clean up. Hanford B provided the material for the Trinity test and Nagasaki bomb.
