Numerous Transuranics found at Niagara - Help



Dear Radsafers:



I'm looking for some assistance. There have been numerous transuranic 

materials found around Niagara Falls, New York, including Plutonium, Lanthanum, 

Strontium, Actinium, Cesium and perhaps others. All of these fission products have 

been buried at the Lake Ontario Ordnance Works since at least 1944. All 

products were disposed of in direct contact to the soils and within feet of the 

water table.



Would someone be able to tell me the dangers of these materials being in the 

environment and in contact to the soils and in near proximity to the water 

table.

This situation, I believe, is serious and perhaps even catastrophic in 

magnitude.



I would appreciate any comments, guidance or direction to address this 

situation of grave concern.



Thanking you each in advance for any help.



Sincerely,

Louis Ricciuti
