David Bolingbroke will share a series of Cold War era stories from his book project on the different wild and domesticated animals that encountered radiation at Hanford and the scientists who studied them. David will share stories about salmon and beagles in laboratory holding tanks and pens, sheep at the site's animal farm, human scientists working on the site, and migratory elk and eagles who found homes at Hanford. Together, these animals show how Hanford became both a nuclear and natural landscape that made ecological knowledge and risk along with plutonium.

The Nuclear Waste Scholar Series is funded through a Public Participation Grant from the Washington State Department of Ecology.
