Argonne, Illinois - Site A/Plot M Atomic Marker

Disposal site for early atomic piles (we call them nuclear reactors today). Elevated tritium levels in groundwater around the site have been detected. [Rafe Johnson, 06/07/2009]

[RA: There seems to be a monument, but we can't tell whether the public is really encouraged to hang around. Another one for the Atomic Tour (which we detonated in our first book in...1986!).]
