The 903 Pad

 

In the late 1950s and 1960s, barrels of waste oil and solvents contaminated with plutonium and uranium were stored outdoors at the 903 Area of the former Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant. Many barrels leaked, contaminating the soil around them. The barrels were removed in the late 1960s, leaving freshly disturbed soil open to the elements. Windstorms then blew some of this soil away, causing off-site plutonium contamination east and southeast of the plant. In 1969, an asphalt "pad" was placed over the most contaminated area
