Hanford Communities wants to share the insightful Let’s Talk About Hanford series from our community partners at Washington State Department of Ecology. What started as a way to connect with community members during the pandemic turned into a fascinating series covering topics like Hanford’s nuclear history to the geological surroundings of the Hanford site and beyond.

DFLAW: the Path to Tank Waste Treatment

Hanford Site cleanup has been a decades long effort, with many milestones reached and progress made. But with the recent startup of Hanford’s Direct Feed Low-Activity Waste (DFLAW) program, we’ll soon be on our way to treating the mass amounts of radioactive waste stored in nearly two hundred underground tanks.

Hanford Communities understands how crucial Hanford Site cleanup is to Tri-Citians and surrounding communities. This complicated and precarious task has been a topic of vast importance for decades, and the recent progress we have been seeing is the result of years of milestones and achievements.

Hanford Communities serves as an intergovernmental cooperative of the Tri-Cities and local counties aimed at bringing Hanford Site news, updates and education to citizens of this community.
