The U.S. Department of Energy plans to digitally copy, then destroy 500 boxes of documents related to the former Rocky Flats nuclear- weapons plant, prompting vigorous objections from a local coalition and two Colorado congressmen.
The decision is "extremely troubling," U.S. Reps. Mark Udall and Ed Perlmutter said in a recent letter to the DOE Office of Legacy Management.
"These documents, which have been part of the public record for years, are critical to understanding the history of Rocky Flats and cleanup activities and should be preserved," the congressmen said.
