Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site |
Details |
From 1952 to 1992, the Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plant near Denver produced more than 70,000 plutonium pits for nuclear bombs, the heart of every nuclear weapon in the United States. Local residents and workers at the plant were largely kept in the dark about radioactive contamination of the air, water, and soil, until the Department of Energy finally conceded that Rocky Flats was the most contaminated site in the country. |
