The barren wasteland of America's uranium ghost towns: Insid

The barren wasteland of America's uranium ghost towns: Inside the remains of mining outpost Jeffrey City, Wyoming, which was all but abandoned after the end of the nuclear arms race - left with just 24 RESIDENTS, one diner, and a school with two students

The rural enclave started out as a single homestead but after uranium was discovered in the area and a mine opened in 1957, a drove of workers descended. But now it's a far cry from its heyday.
