I am standing in front of a 75-foot-tall nuclear radiation containment facility that has been turned into a tourist attraction.
That is right, here in Weldon Springs, Missouri.
Now, this site was once where the largest explosives factory in America once stood.
They were creating TNT and DNT. For the Allied troops during World War II. Then it was turned over to Mallinckrodt Chemical Works, who were of course processing uranium.
Unbeknownst to some of the workers, they were actually building the atomic bomb.
Then they abandoned the site in the 60s and left a lot of that radioactive material right here.
So when the EPA stumbled across this place, they say, what do you do when you find 1.48 million cubic yards of PCBs, mercury, asbestos, TNT, radioactive uranium and radium, and contaminated sludge and rubble?
Well, you turn it into a tourist attraction, and then you propagate to everyone and explain exactly how they are completely safe, and the government is here to help, and they've got it under control.
Now, we are going to be touring this facility tomorrow.
Obviously, when it's not raining, we're going to go to the top.
We're going to do some Geiger counter readings of our own, see if anything strange is afoot.
And we'll also be speaking with some women who are actually the founders of the...
Coldwater Creek Facebook page, they are trying to collate data to prove that there is a cancer cluster here in St. Louis, so they can go ahead and show you what's going to happen here decades from now if the remnants of the Manhattan Project are not contained.
