What company owns a hydroelectric, concrete gravity dam; located on the Columbia River, between the Yakima Firing Range and a mostly decommissioned nuclear production complex operated by the United States federal government on the Columbia River in the U.S. state of Washington?
Hanford Site The Hanford Site is a mostly decommissioned nuclear production complex operated by the United States federal government on the Columbia River in the U.S. state of Washington. The site has been known by many names, including: Hanford Project, Hanford Works, Hanford Engineer Works and Hanford Nuclear Reservation. Established in 1943 as part of the Manhattan Project in Hanford, south-central Washington, the site was home to the B Reactor, the first full-scale plutonium production reactor in the world.
