Because Hanford has been an economic engine for Washington's Tri-City region through 60 years of weapons production and cleanup, some observers worry that a museum will turn the site into a triumphal shrine. But [Michelle Gerber] says that won't happen. "We're not trying to preserve the reactor because it was great. We're doing this because it was significant," she says.
