| Description | The 586-square-mile Hanford Site is located along the Columbia River in southeastern Washington State. A plutonium production complex with nine nuclear reactors and associated processing facilities, Hanford played a pivotal role in the nation's defense for more than 40 years, beginning in the 1940s with the Manhattan Project. Today, under the direction of the U.S. Department of Energy, Hanford is engaged in the world's largest environmental cleanup project, with a number of overlapping technical, political, regulatory, financial and cultural issues. The Hanford Site Photo Gallery makes available collections of photographs related to the history, operation, and clean-up of the site. The photos can be paged through by collection or searched as a whole and can be downloaded or printed. Some of the collections and their volumes are:
