New Rocky Flats Links

There have been two sites added to links. The first is for Homesteaders, which is a nonprofit organization of Rocky Flats employees. The organization is active in issues of importance to past employees, publishes a monthly newsletter, and hosts several social events.

The second new link is to a LeRoy Moore’s blog.  He provided an extensive review of the book about Rocky Flats,  and we exchanged several emails discussing his comments.  The entire lenghty exchange is on the left colum of his blog complete with misspellings and typos. 

The discussions include:

  • Risks from exposure to low levels of plutonium
  • Plutonium contamination downwind of Rocky Flats
  • The Grand Jury, the plea bargain, and the Congressional hearings
  • The firing of Rockwell by DOE
  • Contention that the raid and Grand Jury were part of a cover up to thwart Sierra Club lawsuits against DOE
  • Concerns there are 65 boxes of documents sealed by Grand Jury proceedings
  • My incorrect presumption that activists were paid

There are polite disagreements, but I believe they add value.
