Context: Rocky Flats, Colorado, is the site of the former Rocky Flats Weapons Plant, a manufacturing facility for US nuclear weapons, and since the 1990s, a major environmental contamination and cleanup site.

Though much radioactive material was removed (including 21 tons of weapons-grade material), concerns over residual radioactive contamination being made airborne through fire or other disturbance remain.
