Testing by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has found no radioactive contamination at a Missouri school that was shut down last month amid fears that nuclear material from a contaminated creek nearby had made its way into the school

Testing by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers found no radioactive contamination at the Missouri school that was shut down in October amid fears that nuclear material from a contaminated creek nearby had made its way into the school, Corps officials said Wednesday, Nov. 9. FLORISSANT, Mo. — — Testing by the U.S.
The Corps said preliminary results found no evidence of radioactive material above what would be naturally occurring. The school, with about 400 students, sits along Coldwater Creek, a 19-mile waterway contaminated decades ago with Manhattan Project atomic waste. The Corps used radiation detection instruments to scan surfaces inside the school, and dug holes up to 28 feet deep in the soil.
The site near the airport has largely been cleaned up but remediation of the creek itself won’t be finished until 2038, Corps officials have said.
