But since the Cold War ended, several sites have fallen out of active use. After narrowly avoiding being torns down, there's a movement to open them to the public as National Parks. Government Tue, 07 Aug 2012 18:47:59 -0500 The very sad part of this effort is that it ignores the fact that the radioactive waste from the Nagasaki bomb still sits on the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in the state of Washington and is beginning to leak into the ground water and Columbia River. In other words, the atomic bomb keeps on killing 57 years later. The U.S. Department of Energy has suggested reducing the amount of funds for the cleanup in recent months delaying it yet again...in order to fund these national historic parks?
