God be with them, those brave souls who plan to go in there and clean that mess up. To me, they seemed so out of place. But now I think I understand. Angels are needed there, if they're needed anywhere. BIG, heroic efforts will be needed to undo the damage that's been done, to save ourselves from the mess we've made.
Big efforts imply a lot of work and commitment from the people involved.
But also, the number of people involved must be big. Politicians must cooperate, managers must cooperate, engineers must cooperate, technicians must cooperate, ordinary people must cooperate. It needs national-level attention, and plenty of it. It took a nation to make the mess at Hanford, and it will take a nation to unmake it. People need to know that, and people need to respond.
