Cleanup Hanford

Year 2014
Songwriter Kay Thode
Get rid of that Fast Flux Reactor, Shut it down for once and for all, We really don’t want and don’t need it, So get it shut down by the fall. Forty-four million would buy us more cleanup Not danger of future misuse To produce isotopes or plutonium For which there isn’t any good use. We’re sick of you delaying deadlines And wasting our dollars to keep That blasted reactor on standby It’s past time to put it to sleep. You pay the contractors for failing To do what they should have done Then reduce the dollars needed for cleanup This really is not what we call fun. How long will you waste our tax dollars To keep that damn thing on the line We’ve told you for years don’t want it Must we do it yet another time.
