  • The cell contains 1.48 cubic meters of stabilized waste material from the uranium processing plant. The waste is from this property only and not the surrounding area. The waste consists of debris, soil, stabilizes sludge, scrap metal and other similar material that were contamined with low-level radioactive waste. There was no "testing" done at this site. The high school was present, but during the cleanup the air was heavily monitored at the school and at the site. For further accurate information go to www.wssrap.com
