This talk asks a deceptively simple question: "what does it mean to clean up nuclear waste?" In particular, speakers consider the politics of waste, exposure, and cleanup at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, a former weapons complex in southeastern Washington. Once the heart of American plutonium production, Hanford is now engaged in the nation’s largest environmental remediation effort, managing toxic materials that will long outlast their regulatory containers. This talk will examine cleanup’s administrative frames and the stories that exceed them. Shannon Cram and Hanford Challenge's staff attorney, Britany Kee' ya aa. Eichman-Lindley will detail the practical challenges that come with environmental decision-making and discuss how to engage productively in both critique and action.
