Observatory of Radioactivity in the Environment, ACRO regularly monitors
radioactive pollution around the nuclear installations in La Hague, which
enabled it, in 2016, to highlight unusual pollution. in the Ru des Landes
area, with the notable presence of americium-241 and plutonium, which are
particularly toxic. Areva, now Orano, has pledged to take back the
contaminated land. But, as of December 2021, no sanitation work has yet
