U.S. Department of Energy's Hanford Site

Welcome to the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Hanford Site—1,518 square kilometers (586 square miles) located in southeastern Washington State, United States of America. The Hanford Site was established during World War II as part of the Manhattan Project and played a pivotal role in the nation’s defense for more than 50 years.

Currently, the Hanford Site is engaged in the world’s largest environmental cleanup with many challenges to be resolved in the face of overlapping, technical, political, regulatory, and cultural interests. The cleanup effort is focused on three outcomes: restoring the Columbia River corridor for other uses, transitioning the central plateau to long-term waste treatment and storage, and preparing for the future.
