Chain Reaction: Circum-navigating the Hanford Nuclear ReservationZachary Mazur explores the social and environmental issues surrounding the Hanford Nuclear Reservation through a series of images taken as he travelled the 586 square mile perimeter.
Established as part of the Manhattan Project in 1943, Hanford is the largest nuclear waste facility in the Western Hemisphere. These photographs challenge our mythology of "Great American West" by juxtapositioning the beautiful visual aesthetic of the photographs with the knowledge that this is a toxic landscape that has become the world's largest environmental cleanup effort.
