Next, I consider how Hanford's biological vector control program addresses the spread of radioactive flora and fauna. Beginning with the Hanford Reach National Monument, I examine how this space is framed as both pristine habitat and waste frontier. How can these environments simultaneously embody ruin and redemption, and what work does this constitutive contradiction do? In this article, I explore the slippery subjectivities of nuclear waste and nature at Washington State's Hanford Nuclear Reservation. However, these areas are also home to contaminated biota that migrate beyond refuge boundaries, inspiring biological vector control campaigns that frame nuclear nature as a threat that must be contained. In recent years, many of these landscapes have been re-classified as national wildlife refuges in an attempt to transform the nation's atomic sacrifice zones into spaces of environmental salvation. The only person you are fighting is yourself and your stubbornness to engage in new circumstances.Nuclear weapons production has created a unique geography of irradiated open space in the United States. It is simply waiting out there for you to grasp it, and all you have to do is reach for it. My point is that you do not need me or anyone else around to bring this new kind of light in your life. We just have to have the courage to turn against our habitual lifestyle and engage in unconventional living. It is in everything and anything we might experience. You are wrong if you think Joy emanates only or principally from human relationships. You are still going to live a long time, Ron, and it would be a shame if you did not take the opportunity to revolutionize your life and move into an entirely new realm of experience. Move around, be nomadic, make each day a new horizon. I fear you will follow this same inclination in the future and thus fail to discover all the wonderful things that God has placed around us to discover.ĭon't settle down and sit in one place.

But for some reason incomprehensible to me you wanted nothing but to bolt for home as quickly as possible, right back to the same situation which you see day after day after day. You had a wonderful chance on your drive back to see one of the greatest sights on earth, the Grand Canyon, something every American should see at least once in his life. You think that I am stubborn, but you are even more stubborn than me. But I fear that you will ignore my advice. I guarantee you will be very glad you did. And so, Ron, in short, get out of Salton City and hit the Road.

But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty. If you want to get more out of life, Ron, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. “I'd like to repeat the advice that I gave you before, in that I think you really should make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt.
