I saw an interesting article
yesterday in the Florida Today Sunday
paper. In the article, they discuss the Hanford Nuclear Reservation located in
Eastern Washington. What caught my eye is the extent at which the 56 Million
gallons of toxic waste has been leaking into the area surrounding the facility.
Now why would this be of
note in a blog like this?
If you've read The Card, you
might recall Van's science teacher, Mr. Han. Van, Zoe and Fred go to him to
help solve the mystery behind Van's Moe Berg baseball card. Han is a paranoid
genius—constantly on the lookout for the next government conspiracy. In the story,
Mr. Han is sure that the Hanford facility is leaking nuclear waste into the
Columbia River.
