Plutonium and the Rio Grande: Environmental Change and Contamination in the Nuclear Age
Graf, William L. (Professor of Geography, Professor of Geography, Arizona State University)
Workers at the Los Alomos National Laboratory dumped waste plutonium from the Manhattan Project and other nuclear weapons projects into canyons draining into the Rio Grande. This book studies the movement of the plutonium through the river system, and is illustrated with maps, diagrams and photographs. The analytic methods employed will serve as a model for application elsewhere.
