The Floodgates

The book delves into critical environmental issues surrounding the Hanford Nuclear repository, highlighting ongoing concerns about radioactive waste leakage and its potential effects on groundwater and the Columbia River. Additionally, it examines the implications of a 2013 report on the Cascadian Subduction Zone, which predicts significant seismic activity in the Northwest. The author explores the interconnectedness of these environmental risks and the broader implications for the Columbia Basin, encouraging readers to engage in the ongoing debate about safety and preparedness in the region.
