LANL Warning About Radioactive Trees

Posted by chrisd on from the unintended-consequences dept.

coryboehne writes "KOB-TV in Albuquerque is reporting that Los Alamos National Labs is warning personnel who are cutting trees in a canyon east of Los Alamos that some trees in the area might be radioactive. The canyon, known as Bayo Canyon, was formerly known as Technical Area 10, and was used for weapons testing from the 1940s until 1961. A full summary of Environmental Direct Penetrating Radation in the Los Alamos area is available from the LANL Meteorology & Air Quality Group"

    People who do this shit piss me off, but do expose a hole in the moderation system.

    Admins: Fix it.
