Rocky Flats, the red dot NW of Denver / Arvada on your map when zoomed in. Fortunately, I'm several dozen miles to the SE of this facility that was used to make plutonium triggers for nuclear weapons for decades. Investigated by the EPA and FBI, they were raided in 1989 on reports of unsafe conditions.

"Most of the radioactive contamination from Rocky Flats came from three sources: a catastrophic fire in 1957,[6] leaking barrels in an outdoor storage area in 1964-1968, and another less severe fire in 1969.[18] Plutonium, used to construct the weapons' fissile components, can spontaneously combust at room temperatures in air....."
