RICHLAND, WASH. (AP) – Workers at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation finish demolishing the site of a famous nuclear accident during the Cold War.
The U.S. Department of Energy says the building containing the so-called McCluskey Room was demolished.
The room was named for Harold McCluskey, who in 1976 received the highest dose of radiation from americium ever recorded.
McCluskey survived the explosion and died 11 years later of unrelated causes.
