Two plants operated here, under separate Atomic Energy
Commission licenses : A uranium plant and a Mixed-
Oxide (MOX) plant.
The Environmental Protection Agency classifies the site as
'hazardous waste' due to concentrations of radionuclides in
the soil.
It was at the MOX plant that Karen Silkwood, a union
activist, became contaminated with plutonium.
