Hanford copes with nuclear legacy
The town of Hanford, Washington, was the site of a World War Two-era plutonium processing operation that left it one of the most contaminated nuclear waste site in the US.
The clean-up has been under way for 25 years, but residents say they are committed to the project and are determined to pass that commitment on to their children.
