Description

Thousands of workers treated the slopes, channels, roads and other features above the city and lab so that virtually every square inch of land was treated. However, this all-out effort was not able to reduce all the risk to the city and lab and additional heroic measures were taken in the channels. Dams were constructed, larger culverts were drilled through fill bridges and heavy diversion structures were built to protect nuclear reactors. Downstream work was done to protect tribal homes, businesses and irrigation systems.

Downstream work was done to protect tribal homes, businesses and irrigation systems. Rainstorms of up to one inch in an hour occurred in the area but did no damage. The area will be monitored and the treatments will be maintained for as long as it takes.
