Discovery of radioactive materials from nuclear waste in an elementary school in America.
In a shocking report, American media reported the discovery of atomic contamination left over from the country’s atomic weapons during World War II in an elementary school.
While the United States of America was the first user of atomic weapons in the world during World War II, the discovery of an area contaminated by the country’s nuclear weapons in an elementary school has made news.
On Sunday, the Associated Press reported the discovery of significant radioactive materials in an elementary school in St. Louis, Missouri.
It is said that the radiation detected is related to the production of atomic weapons by the US Army during World War II in this area.
According to the NBC News report, citing the Associated Press, the Boston Chemical Data Corporation report confirms the research of a military engineering company that previously reported radioactive material contamination at Jana Elementary School in the Florescent area of St. Louis. .
The company’s new report is based on samples collected from this area in August. The chemical research company did not say at whose request it conducted the research and where it was funded.
Ashley Bernau, the principal of Jana School, whose son also studies in the same school, said in the school’s parent-teacher association, “My heart is broken.”
The school is located in the Coldwater Creek floodplain, which was contaminated by nuclear waste from US atomic weapons during World War II.
According to reports, nuclear waste was dumped near a site around St. Louis International Airport along a creek that flows into the Missouri River. This report says that the army forces have been cleaning this place for 20 years.
