By using what the British called "exceptional" U.S. engineering methods, Kaiser cut projected costs from $900 million in the original British plan to $600 million, boosted power capacity by 40% and aluminum capacity by 10%, reduced building Lime from eight years to five.

...Contamination of food crops from strontium-90 fallout can be reduced by simply adding lime to the soil, said the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory's Dr. Eric B. Fowler. His team found, in "Project Green Thumb," that plants growing in calcium-poor soils are avid for strontium: give them enough crushed limestone (which is 40% calcium), and they lose much of their appetite...
