Bow and thank "China Pastoral Wang" for the big 588 reward!

This chapter is for "Brother Tiger is very painful" yesterday's reward plus more!

The Cascade Mountains are part of the majestic Rocky Mountains, a 1,127-kilometre range that connects the Canadian Coast Range to the north and the Sierra Nevada to the south.

The Cascade Mountains run north and south of Washington State, and Seattle, the capital of Washington State, is located at the western foot of this mountain range, and at the eastern foot of this mountain range is a large wilderness.

In the wilderness, there is a river that flows the fourth most in North America and the second largest in the United States, and this river is the famous Columbia River, which carries abundant fresh water to the Pacific Ocean day and night.

The world-famous Hanford Nuclear Exclusion Zone is located in the wilderness between the west bank of the Columbia River and the eastern foothills of the Cascade Mountains.

In February 1937, the Nazis began to implement the "uranium program", that is, the program to develop the atomic bomb. After Pearl Harbor in 1941, the United States joined the Allies in declaring war on the Nazis, and the following year, President Roosevelt decided to begin research on the atomic bomb.

The first U.S. isotope separation plant was located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, but the project's main office was in New York, so the project was soon named the Manhattan Project.

At the end of 1942, the world's first experimental atomic reactor was built at the University of Chicago, and a controllable chain reaction was successfully carried out. But this could not provide weapons-grade plutonium for the construction of the atomic bomb, so the Manhattan Project decided to begin construction of a nuclear base for the production of weapons-grade plutonium in Hanford, Washington, the following year, in 1943.

At that time, Hanford had built a total of nine nuclear reactors, but the B nuclear reactor was the most famous of them. It was the world's first nuclear reactor capable of meeting production needs, and it was also the place where the necessary radioactive materials were provided for the creation of the world's first atomic bomb and **. The "Fat Man", the atomic bomb dropped by the U.S. military on Nagasaki in 1945, was born here.

This is where the Hanford Nuclear Exclusion Zone comes from.

However, the Hanford Nuclear Exclusion Zone, which once made a major contribution to the victory in World War II, is now an old man, and has gradually become the largest nuclear waste storage base in the United States. A lot of the nuclear waste produced by the United States in the past few decades has been stored in storage tanks here, because it has been too long, causing many storage tanks to burst, causing irreparable nuclear contamination and overwhelming this wasteland.

The Hanford Nuclear Exclusion Zone is surrounded by Highway 240 and the Columbia River, and in between the two is a vast wasteland that covers an area of more than 100 square kilometers of nuclear waste. In this area, there are a total of 177 large storage tanks, which contain more than 200 million litres of high-level radioactive nuclear waste. All of these tanks have a service life of more than 20 years, so much so that many of them have leaked to date, with at least more than 3.78 million litres of high-level radioactive waste liquid leaking.

Just last year, on March 22, 2013, there was a nuclear accident in which at least six storage tanks leaked at the same time, bringing irreparable nuclear disaster to the region.

During the Cold War in the last century, the former Soviet Union discharged high-level radioactive waste from nuclear weapons factories directly into nearby rivers and lakes due to cost and other considerations, causing serious ecological disasters. Lake Galasu, once a wildlife playground next to the famous atomic city of Chelyabinsk, has been contaminated with nuclear waste and is now a stagnant pool of water, which, according to Russian environmental experts, will not be restored for more than a hundred thousand years.

Although the current nuclear leakage in the Hanford nuclear exclusion zone is not as serious as that of the former Soviet Union, if it is not dealt with in time, the ecological disaster caused by it will be irreversible. Therefore, the Hanford nuclear exclusion zone alone costs more than $10 billion a year just to clean up these nuclear leaks. But even this cannot prevent nuclear leaks in storage tanks that have seriously exceeded their service life.

It can be said that the nuclear waste in the Hanford nuclear exclusion zone is now a major headache for the Obama administration.

It was under this circumstance that Tang Feng quietly came to Kennewick, more than 50 kilometers south of the Hanford nuclear exclusion zone.

More than 9,000 years ago, the land of the United States was very inhospitable, and the Kennewicks lived on this land at that time, and they were later exterminated by Siberian hunters who came to the Americas via the Eurasian land bridge. But now, the town, named after the Native American ethnic group, is a testament to the Kennewick people.

This is a small city with a population of more than 50,000, located on the banks of the Columbia River, after Tang Feng came here, he quickly found a star-rated hotel to live in, and after having dinner in a hurry, and feeding Depp and Donnie, who were already extremely powerful, he put the two big guys into the star core space, and then Tang Feng also plugged the door of the room, and his consciousness followed and entered the star core space.

It is more than fifty kilometers away from the Hanford Nuclear Forbidden Zone, and Tang Feng can easily use the deformation survey ability of the Star Core to envelop a part of the Hanford Nuclear Forbidden Zone.

Through scanning, Tang Feng found that not all of the storage tanks in the Hanford nuclear restricted area were buried deep underground, almost more than one-third of the storage tanks belonged to half above ground and half underground, but there were also a large number of storage tanks in rock layers ranging from tens of meters to hundreds of meters underground. Through the scanning of the star core, Tang Feng found that most of the storage tanks buried deep in the ground were those high-level nuclear waste.

This made Tang Feng very happy. These tanks are buried deep in the ground, and some of them have burst, and the nuclear waste liquid inside has long been unknown to where it has flowed, which provides favorable conditions for Tang Feng to absorb these nuclear wastes.

Because of the existence of these broken tanks, it is impossible to tell whether the nuclear waste inside has flowed away or been absorbed, and these tanks are buried deep in the ground, although they are not permanently disposed of, but who knows when they will be seen again!

Maybe when these tanks see the light of day again, there will be no Tang Feng in this world anymore!

When is it not fishing in troubled waters?

Looking at the dense green symbols representing radioactive elements on the holographic anatomy map, Tang Feng laughed, and then immediately activated the absorption function of the star core without hesitation, and then saw that the star core was as if the big man who had been hungry for thirty years suddenly saw a table full of Han, and began to devour the nuclear waste that no one cared about under the ground!
