Hanford’s B-Reactor Update: Almost a National Historic Landmark

Richland News 23 July 2008 by Matt McGee | 1 Comment

Just updating the blog post from last week about Hanford’s B-Reactor…. the National Park Service advisory board voted unanimously this week to recommend that the site be declared a National Historic Landmark. Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne will make the final decision.

Local officials say the NHL status would give the Tri-Cities more exposure on the national level as a tourist attraction, and that would pump some more money into the local economy as people visit Richland to see a major piece of the country’s nuclear history.
