Arsenal dump clean-up #2

This site in Watertown, Mass., was used as a staging facility for the leftover metals from the manufacture of armor-piercing rounds, which were made of spent uranium. The tailings were trucked to the site in oil and burned in order to stabilize them, and then shipped off-site for disposal. The site is now being cleaned up after decades of PCB's and other toxic crap leaching into the soil.
