Correction: September 2, 1990, Sunday, Late Edition – Final A map and chart last Sunday with an article about nuclear waste included a site identified erroneously by an Energy Department report. The site, a former uranium processing plant, is in Colonie, N.Y., not Colonia, N.J.http://www.nytimes.com/1990/08/26/weekinreview/the-nation-in-the-trail-of-the-nuclear-arms-industry-what-s-left-behind.html
