Rocky Flats Will Remain Radioactive

By Michael de Yoanna

DENVER, Colorado, October 3, 2002 (ENS) ? The Department of Energy is
warning that even after the Rocky Flats Superfund Site is converted to a
wildlife refuge, contamination from plutonium, uranium and americium
will persist.

The acknowledgment comes as the Department of Energy (DOE) proposes
alterations in amendments to the Rocky Flats Cleanup Agreement of 1996.

Working under the watch of the Environmental Protection Agency and
Colorado health department, the DOE says the alterations represent a
vast improvement for public health compared with the current agreement
for the cleanup of the 6,500 acre former nuclear weapons manufacturing
plant located 15 miles northwest of downtown Denver.
