The Infinity Room

Awhile back I wrote about the Rocky Flats Nuclear Plant specifically THE INFINITY ROOM.  The Infinity Room ( room 141 within Building 771) was so contaminated with Plutonium that the Geiger counter needles all pegged at infinity.  I have since learned that Building 771 that contained Rom 141 ( Infinity Room) was decommissioned and NOT left in place.  I was under the impression that Room 141 was left behind so I am glad to get the facts.  At one point Building 771 was considered the most dangerous enclosure in the world.  Now I would think the Chernobyl Sarcophagus wins that title.  All this being said I still consider Rocky Flats to be dangerous if this and future generation forget what lies in the dirt below the surface.
