In Steve Olson's book, The Apocalypse Factory, he argues that the Hanford nuclear reservation is the single most important site of the nuclear era. But when Steve started writing the book he knew very little about Hanford – despite growing up just 15 miles from the nearest reactor. Steve will discuss both Hanford's impact on the world and his personal connections to the site – all that plus a video clip from Season 3 of Twin Peaks!

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