Online registration for tours of the B Reactor at Hanford opens Saturday at noon.
Earlier this week, the U.S. Department of Energy announced the tour reservation process for the Hanford Site at Richland.
B Reactor is a National Historic Landmark. It produced plutonium for early nuclear bombs. Families with children older than 12, along with middle schools and high schools, are invited to sign up for the coveted tour slots.
A portion of tour slots will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis through an online registration system or by calling 509-376-1647 or stopping by the B Reactor Tour Headquarters located at 2000 Logston Blvd. in Richland off Hwy. 240.
Tours begin and end from this location and are about four and a half hours. The tours are free and visitors are encouraged to bring cameras. Citizens from all countries are welcome on the B Reactor tours.
