Environmental investigation consultants have found significant radioactive contamination at an elementary school in suburban St. Louis where nuclear weapons were produced during World War II. The report by Boston Chemical Data Corp. has confirmed fears about contamination at Jana Elementary School in the Hazelwood School District in Florissant. The report is expected to be a major topic at Tuesday’s school board meeting. Parents want the district to make sure the radioactive waste is cleaned up. Boston Chemical says inhaling or ingesting the radioactive materials can cause significant injury and recommends remedial action “to bring conditions at the school in line with expectations.”
Inhaling or ingesting these radioactive materials can cause significant injury, the report said.
“A significant remedial program will be required to bring conditions at the school in line with expectations,” the report said. The new report is expected to be a major topic at Tuesday's Hazelwood school board meeting. The district said in a statement that it will consult with its attorneys and experts to determine the next steps.
“Safety is absolutely our top priority for our staff and students,” board president Betsy Rachel said Saturday. Christen Commuso with the Missouri Coalition for the Environment presented the results of the Corps' study to the school board in June after obtaining a copy through a Freedom of Information Act request.Copyright AP - Associated Press
