Books about Hanford
Nuclear Snakes by Robert Masterson, an enjoyable and informative adventure novel. ”Nuclear Snakes is a fast-paced online adventure novel. Jason Albright, 25, ‘Nuclear Nerd’, a freshly minted Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics, was happy making six-figures a year in a private pro-nuclear Washington DC lobby firm. His entire life changes in days, all due to a nuclear accident half a world away in Japan. It’s the biggest thing on his mind. That and telling Earth’s dirtiest secret. ”
Plume by Kathleen Flenniken, Washington’s poet laureate in 2012. ”The poems in PLUME are nuclear-age songs of innocence and experience set in the “empty” desert west.”
