Rocky Mountain Research

Rocky Mountain Research forms part of the Denver Radium Superfund site, which mostly sprung from radium processing in the 1920s. However, Rocky Mountain Research at this site had AEC contracts in the 1950s (1955) for processing uranium; it also processed beryllium on a pilot scale. According to Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program reports, this research expired in November 1957. Radium contamination was found in April 1979.
