Hanford (Washington)

Hanford is a former small town in the southeast of the U.S. state of Washington located on the Columbia River. The settlement was founded in 1943 with seed off the nearby White Bluffs to set up the Hanford Site, a nuclear reprocessing plant and reactor system for plutonium enrichment as part of the Manhattan Project. After the closure of a facility, part of the former city area is now part of a nature reserve in Hanford Reach National Monument.

As a single building remained the High School ( ▼ 46.587787-119.387764 ). The building still stands today and is showing clear traces of use as a training ground for urban warfare by the security service of the nuclear facility.
