Contractor Says Cleanup of Nuclear Site Is Done
From Times Wire Reports

Kaiser-Hill Co. said it was proud of the effort to “complete the largest, most complex environmental cleanup project in United States history.”
However, it could be months before the site on the rolling plains northwest of Denver is opened to the public, because federal regulators must certify it as safe.
