#2 Q: What is the most contaminated nuclear site in the United States?

A: The Hanford Site in Washington State.

Then come visit the Savannah River Site for another historical eye opener.

#3 /\ Yes, the Hanford site in Richland, WA is without question the worst. There are many others.

#4 That's the thing about govt messes: They'd rather not talk about them.
I nominate Pantex. Or you could go for the Rocky Mountain Arsenal, where they would like to start building subdivisions.

#6 NN2N1 Oak Ridge is bad. I worked there for a few years. There was an "accident" where several thousand gallons of mercury was diverted to a nearby creek. It has been fenced off for many years. While I was there a "spring" opened up right next to the road going to the old gaseous diffusion plant that, when tested, was very hot. Turns out there was a burial site near where many 55 gallon drums of waste were. They leaked into the ground water and we did a project to catch the water and "dispose" of it. There are many areas there that are no go.
