Officials order demolition of #US homes after discovering #radioactive hazard: 'Safety is our number one priority'

"We've collected over 41,000 samples."

by Brianne Nemiroff, March 7, 2026

Excerpt: "The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers tested soil in the backyards of properties along the 800 block of Cades Cove Drive in #Florissant, #Missouri. It found #NuclearContamination between 2.5 and 17 feet below the foundations of the homes.

"The homes were built near #ColdwaterCreek, a waterway that has experienced contamination issues since the 1940s. Now, in February 2026, six of the homes on this block will be demolished.

"Lt. Col. Andrew James, Deputy Commander for the St. Louis District for the Army Corps of Engineers, said to Spectrum News, 'We've collected over 41,000 samples along Coldwater Creek. And although there's still more spots of contamination that we have to get, the data shows that these are the only homes that we have to demolish right now. For the residents in this area, especially the neighbors that are close … safety is our number one priority.'

"Spectrum News also spoke to Gina McNabb, a resident of the block whose home of 28 years was demolished. 'My husband's had #cancer, my kids had illnesses, and that's not to say that it definitely came from this, but now there's a question.'

"Federal authorities have not released the payouts to the affected homeowners; however, McNabb has confirmed that her home loan and moving expenses were paid off.

Those who participated in the #ManhattanProject focused more on physics than on the biological effects of radiation. Eighty years later, experts are still finding radiation in the soil under homes, in waterways, and an increased cancer risk in people living near high-risk areas, as stated by experts in an interview with PBS."
