I was born in Richland, company town for Hanford. It had the same nuclear technology as Chernobyl.

Some would say that explains a lot. :)

P.S. If you're ever flying over the tri-cities area (central WA), try and scope out Hanford from a distance.  It's a bit haunting to be honest.  The facilities are in a general state of demolition/remediation, then down the way you have the current Columbia River nuclear plant, and a field of who knows what between.  Definitely a sight to see for any radiological enthusiasts, I'll make it on one of those tours someday!
