Rocky Flats Plant

Not as red.

If it's red, it's because of Rocky Flats.

It's glowing.

We're all growing third arms or whatever happened to that generation.

Brad? Momentarily, we will hear from

Craig Edwards in a Cahill Mobile unit from the Weaver Farm about five miles southwest of Rocky Flats, where there have been reports of a large flaming object suspected to be a meteorite.

Cahill's Don Martin, Sky Spy, just radioed that he's going to take off again from Centennial Airport and fly over the area.

Brad, I've got Craig Edwards now with us in a Cahill Mobile unit.

The trouble is right now, they're just not really sure what they're dealing with.

The airspace is closed.

They're shutting down the highways, but please don't get in this area southwest of Rocky Flats until you hear at least more from us.

We're live on the scene, both in the air and on the ground.

Fish and Wildlife Service is allowing an elk hunt this fall at Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge on the outskirts of Denver.

Site manager David Lucas told local officials last year that there are too many resident elk for the land to handle.

We need to reduce the population of elk.

We need to improve their herd health, better body condition, lower diseases.

But some are concerned about hunting here, because before it was a wildlife refuge, Rocky Flats was used to make triggers for nuclear weapons during the Cold War, and small amounts of plutonium remain in the soil.

David Havlick is a professor at the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs.

It starts to normalize activities in a site that's still pretty hazardous.

You know, I've got a story for every human being you can mention.

And I was interviewing Ginsburg at the Rocky Flats nuclear protests in Colorado.

Very dangerous.

Still very incredibly dangerous.

It's going to be a great morning.

You don't want to miss it.

We're talking about potentially elk that have been grazing and hanging out in the former nuclear site.

Rocky Flats is now open to hunters.

You know, night hunting is usually illegal, but if the elk glow, they should allow it.

That's next.

You going to get that elk news anywhere else? I don't think that you are.

And next is a podcast wherever you find those.

Rocky Flats spent decades making plutonium triggers for nuclear weapons.

Now hunters are being told, go ahead, pull the trigger on elk that graze there.

And I've used this example before.

In 1951, we broke ground at Rocky Flats.

And by 1953, the first plutonium pit rolled off the assembly line at Rocky Flats.

Now, I don't want to go back to Rocky Flats with all the environmental problems that were there.

I'm not saying that.

But if this was Rocky Flats, we can crank out a lot of stuff at scale, but there's going to be some environmental costs that goes with that.

We're now at the other end of the spectrum.

Almost no environmental cost, but nothing really gets produced.

And here's a little film clip from our experiment.

This was at Rocky Flats at the base of the Rockies.

Give it the gas.

There it goes.
