Columbia River and Manhattan Project Reactors

These decomissioned nuclear reactors (left of center) are encased to isolate the long-lived nucleotides still within the core. The reactors were the source of the fissionable material used in the Manhattan Project at the end of World War II. The area is now a protected area of outstanding natural beauty.
