Primo's Flat Flix, near the corner of Cooper and Irving Avenues, sits on the former location of the Wolff-Alport Chemical Company. In the 1940s and '50s, Wolff-Alport extracted rare earth metals from monazite sand. Monazite sand contains thorium, which is radioactive.
For seven years, the company buried radioactive thorium in the soil or dumped it into nearby sewers. In 1947, the Atomic Energy Commission started to regularly buy thorium from the Queens company. Thorium was used in nuclear weapons tested in Nevada in 1955.
