Published

Abstract

Rocky Flats, Colorado, USA, was the home of plutonium pit manufacturing from 1952 to 1992. Here we explore the legacy of Rocky Flats, from military industrial complex to contaminated land, and finally biorefuge. The cultural impacts of living in a toxic place are explored to create an environmental history of this socially and physically contaminated environment.
