"The Hazelwood School District in Florissant is closing an elementary school because of radioactive contamination from World War II-era nuclear waste."

and, isn't that where Jim lives??

Responses:

It's where he lived, yes. The school isn't that old but likely since it opened. - spamlet Oct 19, 06:54 4
- And they...built a school next to that creek? -- nm - ty97 Oct 19, 07:03 2
  - It was built in 1972 so before the issues were "known" -- nm - spamlet Oct 19, 07:06 1
    - My "that old" meant WWII, not like it was new. -- nm - spamlet Oct 19, 07:08

Probably only since whenever it flooded post-WWII. Also I can’t find any real details on specifically what or the amount of contamination is. - mafic Oct 19, 06:54 4
- See my response. It's leftover radioactive waste that was left on basically a parking lot and washed into the creek in the 40s and 50s. - spamlet Oct 19, 06:56
- the kids are glowing, mafic - decline Oct 19, 06:56 1
  - ok, but like a pregnant lady, or like a rave? -- nm - mafic Oct 19, 06:57
- yeah, it was very light on specifics. -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 06:55
