Interesting occurrence, especially if it did actually occur on site as per the theory. I'd like to see some laboratory experimental data as this has occurred frequently in the environment, separate from human activity:
metazeunerite and metatorbernite

The base minerals are radioactive:
zeunerite and torbernite

My question would be, does removal from site involve it being classified as Mixed Waste?
