Ohio CANTON REPOSITORY World War II chemical plant tested for contamination June 13, 2003 Friday, June 13, 2003 CLEVELAND (AP) — A World War II chemical plant is being tested for contamination more than 40 years after it’s work for the Atomic Energy Commission ended. The Harshaw Chemical Co. plant along the Cuyahoga River refined uranium as part of the federal government’s secret atomic production system that produced the bombs that fell on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The federal government has returned to the site with a team of 30 environmental cleanup specialists to examine contamination at the site. The investigation will determine whether a cleanup is needed, said David Romano, project manager for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
