Army Corp of Engineers: Parks Township Waste Removal Project is a 'Go'

摘要

The Army Corps of Engineers released test results and announced to residents that it is ready to resume the $500 million cleanup of the nuclear waste dump in Parks Township. The 44-acre dump, officially known as the Shallow Land Disposal Area, is off Route 66 near Kiskimere Street. It was owned in the 1960s by the Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corp. (NUMEC) which had plants in Apollo and Parks Township that produced nuclear fuels for Navy submarines, power plants and other government programs.
