Abstract
Many sources of pollution are just beginning to be identified in Colorado, especially since the emphasis on controlling point source pollution for the past twenty years in the USA has not cleaned up the environment. One source, mining, is important due to its volume of waste and its worldwide impact, and the other is important not so much for the volume of nuclear wastes but for its toxicity. The production and effects of nuclear wastes has historically suffered from a lack of knowledge due to secrecy. Because of this, the amount and distribution of nuclear wastes are just beginning to be understood. This text reports on the extent of pollutant releases and initial cleanup procedures being conducted at the Rocky Flats Nuclear Processing Plant near Denver, Colorado, USA.
