Why in the world, Natalia, do you assert
that people are ‘totally oblivious’ to Rocky Flats?
Cheers,

Subject: [Futurework] Nuclear
Fallout in Colorado
People may like Colorado weather, but really, are they totally
oblivious to its extremely hazardous corporate/government activity? For
decades, it's been on the list to avoid for its nuclear wasteland. What gives?
A.V. KREBS, PROGRESSIVE
POPULIST - On February 14 some 12,000
homeowners downwind from the shut down Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons
Plant, near Denver, Colorado won a $553.9 million judgment from a
federal jury after a four-month trial that charged the plant's former
operators --- Rockwell International Corp. and The Dow Chemical
Company --- of contaminating their land with plutonium released from
the plant. However, the defendants who operated the plant for the U.S.
Department of Energy from 1952 to 1989 will be indemnified by the
federal government, meaning that the DOE will pay any judgment and has
been paying the companies' legal fees. . . Rocky Flats opened in 1953,
and before it was shut down in 1989 it produced more than 60,000
nuclear weapon parts. Its closing came after the Federal Bureau of
Investigation raided the site, fearing that radioactive materials were
being illegally discharged.
