A multimedia presentation called "Atomic Footprints: Washington's Nuclear History Through Art and Science" is offered at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, May 6 at the Port Townsend Library Learning Center, 1256 Lawrence St., next door to the Carnegie Library.

The presenter is Daniel Noonan, project manager for the Hanford program at Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility (WPSR). He has spent the last four years working to raise awareness about the history and current threats of the Hanford Nuclear Site and has co-authored a curriculum resource on Hanford's history, geography and current cleanup efforts.

Built in secret during WWII, the Hanford Nuclear Site, located in Eastern Washington, has quietly produced most of the plutonium used in the U.S. nuclear arsenal. Along with radiation released into the air and Columbia River, plutonium production created millions of gallons of high-level nuclear waste currently stored in 177 underground tanks, some of which have leaked. Hanford is the largest environmental cleanup project in history.

Noonan's talk is sponsored by WPSR and the Friends of the Port Townsend Library. For more information, contact Cris Wilson at 385-3181. Seating is limited so it is recommended that the audience arrives a few minutes early.
