The following year, decommissioned Hanford nuclear site in Washington will become a national park, as informs.

Officials insist that radioactive waste will be kept “miles away” from the park’s visitors.

The Hanford nuclear site was one of several locations where scientists worked to build an atomic bomb during World War II, under the umbrella of the Manhattan Project. Visitors are expected to be drawn in to see the B Reactor at the Hanford site, which is the world’s first full-sized reactor, used for the production of plutonium to build atomic bombs.

Besides, the nearby towns of Hanford and White Bluffs were both evacuated by the government to make room for the Manhattan Project, turning them into ghost towns that will also be open to tourism.
