mm 5.8 - Nuclear Lake. This area was the site of a United Nuclear Company facility. The area was purchased by the National Park Service for the AT but relocation here was delayed for several years because of stories about some sort of incident which resulted in the area becoming unacceptably radioactive. After extensive (and expensive) testing, these rumors were found to be false and the area was deemed safe. Courtesy dlcul@conncoll.edu
