Fort Bliss seeks tips on buried radioactive bunker
Fort Bliss leaders seek help in locating other contaminated sites after radiation was found in a Cold War bunker. Maj. Joe Buccino said about 60 people called a hotline, with veterans from the 1950s and 1960s offering possible information. The bunker, used to assemble and store nuclear bombs, was sealed and later repainted, while Army Environmental Command and ground penetrating radar will map contamination and locate buried containers.
