Old Nuclear Factory Cleaned Up

In 1994 the Department of Energy determined that it would take an estimated 60 years and $37 billion to clean up and demolish the Denver area's Rocky Flats site. But last week the contractor hired in 1995 to scrub the facility said it was done. The job cost just $7 billion over 10 years. The 800 buildings had been demolished and the contaminated soil and plutonium was removed to guarded storage sites. The site, once used in the production of plutonium triggers for nuclear weapons, will now become a wildlife refuge.
