There was an incident earlier this afternoon involving a contract employee near an ash landfill, located to the south of the Ray Nixon and Front Range Power Plants. We contract with this company to maintain our heavy equipment/large trucks that move material – such as ash and coal – at the site.
The Colorado Springs Fire Department will lead the investigation effort.
The contractor’s employee has been airlifted to Denver for medical treatment. We cannot speak to his condition at this time.
While our focus is on the health of this individual, we can report to our community that the site is not at risk and that there were no other worker injuries or damage to our infrastructure.

Not at the plant itself, though what ash landfill could be used at a nuke plant?
Nixon is coal, Front is gas.
No nuke.
Funny how the libs aren’t protesting to shut down those plants, huh?
Duh, Uranium ashes. Huge mound of them. A by-product as they shovel in all that Uranium.
oops . My mistake in not reading the article well.
Round up the usual suspcts: “Greenpeac”; ALF; and ELF.
Libs flunked Chemistry 101.
Or filled their schedule with “Sexuality Studies”
i’ve always heard that the residue from burning uranium was called “clinkers” ...
In Florida, we mix slightly radioactive fertilizer waste into asphalt and pave our highways with it. Otherwise,it just piles up.
“Doesn’t sound too serious.”
No but Freepers never miss a chance to get hysterical about something.
