Fallon is on my FUSRAP list which I acquired by going directly to DOE Headquarters and having it mailed to me. At the time I became interested, didn't have the technology to retrieve it from the internet. Maybe you have a revised list, mine is the original. Sorry for making fun of you.
You're right it was on an original list.
Although levels of radioactivity were so low as to not be significant and a quick clean up removed it from the list.
To claim that these levels of radioactivity (below background) caused leukemia in children is bogus.
Those kids are getting more radiation from the altitude they're living at than they'll get from some stuff left around a DOE site that's not in town.
Gimme a break. If you want to see contamination go to Hanford in WA.....now there's a disaster in progress.

Regarding Hanford -- Amen.

One more comment, the school I researched in New York State is located at about 900 feet above sea level and was built on a toxic site that housed a former industry whose CEO, sometime after the end of WWII, was none other than the good General Groves, of the Manhattan Project. Before the war this company had been involved in weapons production.
