Nuclear Generation Sites - New England

These are sites of nuclear power plants or other large scale producers of long-lived radioactive waste. Generally speaking, most or all of them have had radiation leaks, and the areas around the plants have been contaminated with strontium-90, cesium-137, and other radioactive isotopes. Before the Three Mile Island (TMI) nuclear accident in 1979, the federal government performed regular strontium-90 testing of milk from cows in the areas around nuclear facilities. This testing yielded a consistent pattern of increased strontium-90, when compared with milk from areas without nuclear facilities. That testing was abruptly stopped after the TMI accident, with no explanation. (Note that dairy cattle from the area around TMI supply milk to one of the world's largest chocolate manufacturers - Hershey Foods).

U.S. Nuclear Manufacturing and/or Waste Sites

These are sites where nuclear materials have been manufactured and/or where waste has been stored, and where massive leaks, toxic emissions, or unexplained losses have occurred in the processing of nuclear and other toxic materials. Listed with the site is the type of toxic or radioactive leak or "loss."

• Oak Ridge, TN - mercury, other heavy metals, nuclear (uranium, waste), dioxin
• Barnwell, SC - nuclear (waste)
• Hanford, Richland, WA - nuclear (plutonium, waste)
• Rocky Flats, Colorado - nuclear (plutonium)
• Idaho Falls, ID - nuclear (plutonium)
• Pantex, TX - nuclear (tritium)
• Maxey Flats, KY - nuclear (waste)
• West Valley, NY - nuclear (waste)
• Nuclear Metals, Concord, MA - nuclear (uranium)
• Kerr-McGee, Cimarron, OK - nuclear (plutonium)

The Oak Ridge and Hanford facilities stand out among them as being among the largest leaks of toxic and/or radioactive waste in the world. At Oak Ridge, literally millions of pounds of mercury have leaked into the ground, the aquifer, and a streambed that then winds many miles through the Tennesee countryside and through several towns. In addition, Oak Ridge maintains a hazardous waste incinerator on site, which has been used to "incinerate" nuclear waste and toxic wastes which produce dioxin when incinerated. At the Hanford Works, large amounts of plutonium and other wastes have leaked into the Columbia River, which then winds its way across the entire state of Washington.
