DENVER - It is home to Colorado's only Nuclear reactor, radioactive waste was buried there, the groundwater is toxic, and the soil is contaminated with Arsenic, Uranium, Beryllium, Asbestos and explosives.

But the Denver Federal Center site won't be fenced off for long. It will soon be heavily used be the public.

The site, near 6th and Kipling, bordered by Alameda and Union, is being redeveloped into a new hospital, a Light Rail center and eventually homes and businesses are planned for the area.

Environmental Hazards Researcher, Adrienne Anderson says that is "grounds for concern." "This area was a former toxic waste site," Anderson told us.
