Newish title about Hanford Reach:

Hanford Reach: In the Atomic Field

Cold War nuclear waste and effects on the people and ecology around Hanford

this would be a good companion to my novel Storytellers at the Columbia River

 

Published 2021 by Daylight Books

Description at Bookshop:

A look at lives and landscapes bearing secrets and scars of the atomic/nuclear era, Hanford Reach is a reflection upon the complexity of individual and collective memory, and upon the enduring nature of denial. Excerpts from original first-person narratives are interspersed with photographs taken in and around Hanford Nuclear Reservation, some within territories long removed from public access. Source interviews include Hanford scientists, Native elders, displaced farmers, and others variously impacted. Art intertwines with cultural documentary and political history.
