You can't eat the fish from the water around here*. It'll be strictly catch and release for me.

It is estimated that the Y-12 plant lost over 1,200,000 (thats right 1.2 million!) pounds of mercury into the ground, water, and air around the plant. It is so bad in some places that when they cut through the cinderblocks to make a new doorway or window in some of the old buildings at the lab, the fresh cuts "bleed" mercury.
