Dept. of Ecology Will Discuss Hanford Cleanup

 


DAYTON – The Dayton Lions club is inviting the public to attend a presentation by Dieter Bohrmann from the Dept. of Ecology, who will discuss the Hanford nuclear site and the cleanup efforts taking place there. The 25-30 minute presentation will take place at the Delaney Room, in the Dayton Memorial Library, at 6:30 p.m. on Wed., Jan. 6.

Bohrmann will address issues related to Hanford in the context of myth vs. reality. Hanford, called the most contaminated site in North American, presents the paradox of massive contamination next to a river preserved in its natural state. Understanding Hanford requires more knowledge than recent headlines about leaking radioactive waste tanks and missed cleanup deadlines. Bohrmann will cover some Hanford history, as well as the current progress and challenges of the nuclear cleanup efforts.

Bohrmann is the communication manager and public involvement team lead for the Dept’s. nuclear waste program in Richland. He coordinates internal and external communications and serves as the program’s lead media spokesperson.
