Fox News
An elementary school in the suburbs of St. Louis was found with significant amounts of radioactive contamination in soil, according to a new environmental investigation.
The investigation, by Boston Chemical Data Corp., is based on samples taken in August from the school, first reported by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. It was not clear who or what requested and funded the report. Bradford Betz is a Fox News Digital breaking reporter covering crime, political issues, and much more.
Nuclear waste contamination was dumped at sites near the St. Louis Lambert International Airport, next to the flood plain of Coldwater Creek, on which the school sits. The Corps has been cleaning up the creek for more than 20 years.
The Corps' report also found contamination in the area but at much lower levels, and it didn't take any samples within 300 feet of the school. The most recent report included samples taken from Jana's library, kitchen, classrooms, fields, and playgrounds.
