The Rare Metals mill near the Navajo town of Tuba City and the Hopi village of Moenkopi once process
The Rare Metals mill near the Navajo town of Tuba City and the Hopi village of Moenkopi once processed uranium ore. Now, the site is part of the Department of Energy’s uranium mill tailings cleanup program. But other areas nearby, such as the old town dump, are also contaminated and are not part of the cleanup program. Dozens of sites like this are scattered across the Navajo Nation and the Colorado Plateau. -- source link
