The Elephant's Foot

The “Elephant’s Foot” is a solid mass made of melted nuclear fuel mixed with lots and lots of concrete, sand, and core
sealing material that the fuel had melted through. It is located in a basement area under the original location of the core.
In 1986 the radiation level on the ”Elephants Foot” was measured at 10,000 roentgens per hour, anyone who approached
would have received a fatal dose in under a minute. After just 30 seconds of exposure, dizziness and fatigue will find you a
week later. Two minutes of exposure and your cells will soon begin to hemorrhage; four minutes: vomiting, diarrhea, and
fever. 300 seconds and you have two days to live.

Jack Garofalo (1923-2004), one of the leading photographers for [/FONT][/COLOR]Paris Matchmagazine, spent six weeks in Harlem, New York, in the summer of 1970. His images were the cover story for Match in October that year.

In the 1960s, large numbers of residents left Harlem for neighborhoods in Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx, seeking better schools, improved housing and a stronger sense of safety. Left in Harlem were the people who couldn't afford to or chose not to move.


Despite massive federal investment throughout the 1970s, in 1978 the New York Times would publish an article titled "Harlem's Dreams Have Died in Last Decade, Leaders Say."
Yet, as these pictures show, that didn't mean Harlem in 1970 was lacking in vibrancy. In the words of Camilo José Vergara, another photographer documenting Harlem during the decade: "There was something vital going on in Harlem in the '70s."
