Despite the EPA classifying the area as hazardous in 1989, cleanup efforts by the Army Corps of Engineers have been criticized for being slow and leaving behind dangerous levels of Thorium-230. The segment suggests that renewed media interest in these old contamination sites may be funded by oil and gas interests to discourage nuclear energy adoption.
