FUSRAP (Formerly Utilized Site Remedial Action Program) sites are sites designated for remedial intervention by the Department of Energy and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. These are areas of extreme environmental contamination resulting in the processing, storage, and disposal of radioactive materials during the Manhattan Project and other early U.S. nuclear programs. Sites are most frequently contaminated with Thorium, Radium and Uranium, and remediation efforts have often produced only measured successes. The Linde/Praxair Site is one of 5 in the town of Tonawanda, NY.
