- Description
- The U.S. Department of Energy, Richland Operations Office, (RL) requires services to curate, evaluate, track, clean, store, inventory, preserve and display artifacts related to the Hanford Sites’ Manhattan Project and Cold War Era (hereby referred to as Hanford Collection). The 586-square-mile Hanford Site is located along the Columbia River in southeastern Washington State. A plutonium production complex with nine nuclear reactors and associated processing facilities, Hanford played a pivotal role in the nation's defense for more than 40 years, beginning in the 1940s with the Manhattan Project. Today, under the direction of the U.S. Department of Energy, Hanford is engaged in the world's largest environmental cleanup project, with a number of overlapping technical, political, regulatory, financial and cultural issues. The Hanford Collection includes, but is not limited to a telephone booth, signs, books, manuals, newsletters, videos, documents, gas masks, oxygen masks, respirators, and over 1200 photographs. The Hanford Collection must be (1) maintained in a manner compliant with Title 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations Chapter 1, Sections 79.9, 79.10 and 79.11, (2) available for study, analysis, loan or exhibition, (3) available for public viewing on a negotiated schedule but no less than 300 days per year with a minimum display area of 2,000 square feet, (4) displayed within the city of Richland, Washington.
