Hello wasteland!
| | Old fertilizer plant < on 5/20/2008 11:07 PM >
| | | a friend and i ran across this old fertilizer plant. it shut down in 1985 and was bought a few years back by a company in NY for $3million. these are just a few pix that we took on our first trip. enjoy. i'll post more when i can. [last edit 5/21/2008 2:20 PM by sUrD - edited 1 times]
...the wings on my shoes shrank now the moths won't eat my kidneys, when i shake my state capital it only yields 3 fairy napkins, but how do i know my banana slippers are like water boats because when the moon winks it burns my hamster punches, and that's how you get to llama school rowing your canoe backwards up main street when the front bumper falls off, do mermaids get to drink orange juice? |

...the wings on my shoes shrank now the moths won't eat my kidneys, when i shake my state capital it only yields 3 fairy napkins, but how do i know my banana slippers are like water boats because when the moon winks it burns my hamster punches, and that's how you get to llama school rowing your canoe backwards up main street when the front bumper falls off, do mermaids get to drink orange juice? |

| | | Found out some more about this place if anybody's interested. If not, I'm posting it anyway. From 1958 to 1970 near Pryor the Kaiser Aluminum Company smelted magnesium and thorium metal alloys, extracting the magnesium and disposing of the radioactive material. Some of the material that I have found within the administration building has dates up into the 80's. I can't find where they were disposing of the waste but there were negotiations with some of the indian tribes as to purchase or use some of there reservation lands for disposal sites. There is another Kaiser facility in Tulsa on 41st ST. Although it appears to be the shipping and receiving end of it. Anyways, I have some more pictures of the Pryor facility and a few of the one in Tulsa.
I gotta give credit to Cajun for these pictures. All I had with me was my 35mm. These are the pictures of the place on 41st ST. We went and did a quick scouting trip during lunch one afternoon.

I'd be curious how a Geiger counter would react in those buildings! Thorium isn't the worst stuff -- it used to be part of every camper's gear, in the lantern mantles -- but it would probably be a good idea to give the clothes a good washing after exploring. And I wonder even more about what's in those rusty 55-gallon drums I saw all over Osage County in the '80s.

| | | yeah id always wondered about that too. my grandmother and great-grandmother lived in Gore, not far from one of kerr-mcgee's urainium facilities. my great-grandmother had a big chunk of the raw ore [say about basketball sized, IIRC] on her front porch. wonder how much radiation that thing put off.

Probably enough to give Meryl Streep a wardrobe malfunction. (Hey, some things you tend to remember more clearly than others when you're 16...)
