Long term costs to us all are not yet accounted for. Politicians hide it all in committees everywhere.
Oak Ridge isn't that bad. Nothing like Hanford. I work at ORNL. We have some legacy contamination, etc., to deal with but no "toxic sites". Y-12 has some issues, but not really from the Manhattan Project - it's from 60+ years of nuclear weapons production in general.
