It could be the dark side of the moon!
Nary a tree, bush, weed or blade of grass in sight.
Doesn't anything grow in the ground around there?

I think it has been bladed off to keep down the wildlife that might spread contaminant. Something like a total of nine reactors built, used and then decommissioned but only to the standards of the time when they were taken out of service.
You know, it looks bleak and it is, of course, around the Hanford site itself. It is the east side of the mountains. It is actually quite beautiful around there - wheat fields, orchards, cows and cattle. Lilacs, apricots, wonderful produce. STARS like we forget they have here in Los Angeles. Lewis & Clark came right through there on their trek, and the wagon trains to Oregon were near there.
A whole lot of the West is dry plains and beautiful rocks. It is quite beautiful in its own way.
Oh, and the air smells ‘green’ like alfalfa.
It’s a desert. Check it out on Google Earth.
