Senator Murray Applauds National Park System Advisory Board's Decision to Designate B Reactor for Landmark Status
(Washington, D.C) – U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) today applauded the National Park System Advisory Board's decision to designate the Hanford Nuclear Reservation's B Reactor as a National Historic Landmark. The Board's decision is another critical step toward preserving the first ever full-scale nuclear reactor. Last week, Senator Murray wrote to the Chairman of the National Park System Advisory Board, Dr. William F. Baker, urging the Board to recommend designation of the B Reactor as a National Historic Landmark.
The National Park System Advisory Board voted unanimously to approve the B Reactor for National Historic Landmark status. The final decision on whether the B-Reactor will be named to the list of National Historic Landmarks will be made by Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne.
