Quotes by Joshua Frank (?)

“One cannot have an honest discussion about the potential of nuclear power without fully acknowledging the ravages of the Hanford project. This would be tantamount to debating the future of our dying oceans without bringing up the topic of climate change.”
― Joshua Frank, Atomic Days: The Untold Story of the Most Toxic Place in America

tags: climate-change, environmental-protection, hanford, indigenous-rights, nuclear-power

“The colossal legacy of Hanford, which now accounts for two-thirds of all high-level radioactive waste in the country, is fraught with calamity--a lingering wreckage with little sign of being remediated anytime soon, if ever.”
― Joshua Frank, Atomic Days: The Untold Story of the Most Toxic Place in America
