Heavy water rumour...

windymedia >> Britain's dirty secret

I worked on the U.S. EPA National Priority Superfund cleanup in Cold Spring, NY on the Hudson River, in Foundry Cove, next to Constitution Island, where a great chain had been stretched across the river to the river-edge of what is now the West Point Academy to then stop the British Navy, with a series of them along the river, to prevent a "divide and conquer" of the Northern and Southern colonies, by commanding the river. We worked in the remains of the edge of the "West Point Foundry" which patented a rifled cannon, the Parrott "rifle" (New Hampshire brothers) used in the US Civil War to great advantage. As a part of an archaeology team, as required by law, some things were known and some not. After some remote sensing, the or a prototype of the "Swamp Angel" gun platform was partially recovered, used in 1863 bombardment of Charleston, South Carolina. In the history of the property, it was rumored that a Canadian company had been there producing "heavy water", where they had last made bridges and steel work until its "Bridge Shop" burned down in 1913. It was also recently the site of a chlorine storage fire that was fought by 700 firemen for 24 hours reported by the press, so not much of the foundry exists, piles of brick on the water tunnels, which had the first labor action in a U.S. Federal facility, it's also written. The "lead" said don't worry about heavy water production it doesn't present a hazard as much as the nickel and cadmium in the Foundry Cove and Constitution Marsh, spilled from the production of batteries for the NIKE missile defense systems, once used around the world. I wonder, did this site, whose "workers" were once smuggled under aliases from Great Britain to work on the cannon founding, make the heavy water for Great Britain sent to Israel as reported?
