A documentary about the old Rocky Flats Plant, which made plutonium triggers for the Department of Energy, will be screened Saturday July 19 at the Boulder Film Festival in Colorado.
“Half-Life of Memory: America’s Forgotten Atomic Bomb Factory,” will be screened at 4:30 p.m. Mountain Time at the Dairy Arts Center in Boulder.
Rocky Flats operated from the 1950s through the 1980s. In 1989, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Environmental Protection Agency raided the facility, following a government probe. DOE declared the site cleaned up in 2005.
