Nuclear Secrets

1991 Ariel View of Rocky Flats

On Sunday, the New York Times published an interesting article that illustrates a woman's experience living near the Rocky Flats nuclear bomb facility in Colorado. The author describes her anger towards the government for failing to inform the public of radioactive and toxic contaminants that routinely escaped from the Rocky Flat. Overall, she notes that many radioactive issues occurring around the world are wrongfully kept secret, showing sadly that public health is a sacrifice that many large industries are willing to make for profit.
