The Hanford Nuclear Reservation in south central Washington no longer produces plutonium for nuclear bombs. But its lethal legacy remains.  In his new book, Atomic Days:  The Untold Story of the Most Toxic Place in America, author Joshua Frank digs into the history of this graveyard of US nuclear policies and why it has been so difficult to clean it up.  Jan Haaken talks with Frank about the book and the role of  Hanford in current campaigns to revive nuclear power in the Pacific Northwest.  Frank will also be speaking at the screening of "Atomic Bamboozle: The False Promise of a Nuclear Renaissance" on May 21st at the Hollywood Theatre.
