Depleted Uranium cleanup of Building 502 at TCAAP
2002 |
|
Building 502 at the Twin City Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) in New Brighton/Arden Hills, Minnesota was the production site of Depleted Uranium Munitions by Alliant Techsystems and prior to that by the Honeywell Corporation. The depleted uranium penetrators were manufactured by Nuclear Metals Inc. in Concord MA and shipped to TCAAP for use in 30 mm and 120 mm shells.
The following photos were taken by an individual employed by the Safety and Ecology Corporation of Knoxville, TN. SEC has been contracted to remove DU and other toxic wastes in Building 502.
These photos were publicly posted on the personal web pages of that SEC employee at Nukeworker.com, which provides free web space to industry workers. Nukeworker supports and reports on issues relating to the nuclear industry. The pages showing the clean-up process were remove in late April, 2002 by Nukeworker after being linked to from AlliantACTION's ATK Scoop page.
Neither edited nor altered, these images are the same as the originals posted on the NukeWorker.com web site. They are provided here for educational purposes based on the public's right to know. |
