An Assessment of Potential Curation Facilities at the Hanford Site, Department of Energy

In March and June 2000, St. Louis District personnel examined ten facilities that are located on the Hanford Nuclear Test Site in order to determine their potential as curation repositories for Hanford Cultural Resources. The facilities examined ranged from abandoned buildings associated with the NIKE missile complex to nuclear research reactors. All buildings would require substantial rehabilitation to comply with existing regulations for the curation and management of cultural resources (36 CFR Part 79).
