The incident at Ft Dix, NJ was actually some sort of missile accident
(non-nuclear) which I believe contaminated the ground area that you mention
with rocket fuel.  I think it was one of the old anti-ballistic missile
(ABM) missiles like a Bomarck.  I grew up in that area also (Jackson, NJ)
but am also unsure of the details.
