kerr mcgee and nuclear waste

i tried to add some info to the nuclear waste section. it stil needs a lot of work but hopefuly it is more accurate now... mentioning the 'rare earths facility' where he contamination came from... how the park got contaminated... also mentinoing lindsay light,,, and removing phrase 'kerr-mcgee chemical waste dumping scandal' since 1. it was nuclear waste not just chemical waste and 2. a bit unfair to blame it all on kerr mcgee since the problem had been around since the 1930s. 3. the scandal didnt just happen in the 90s, the NRC found problems at the park in the 80s and a woman with cancer sued Kerr McGee in the 80s.

Put Kerr-McGee back in History

History, as edited by 24.160.104.185 (talk) at 13:34, 21 May 2011, was greatly improved, however, at that time Kerr-McGee was cut out. This was well referenced, and quite a big deal. People lost their houses, this stuff is still being hauled out. Kerr-McGee is back in, first link was dead and removed. Rest is good as of today.
