Rocky Flats

I think there was an insane fire there at one point. If it's true, they thought it would be a good idea to case the nuclear material in magnesium.

From on a guy who trained there during the closure as a hazmat firefighter.

I know there was a fire and it was the most expensive industrial clean up until then. They also had some sort of large leak of radioactive material outside that became aerosolized when the wind blew the dirt. If our snowy mountains can turn pink from a dust storm in Mongolia i am sure anywhere east of the flats got a fair amount of radioactive material dust.

Is this book about FBI/EPA raid and what happen afterward with the cover up?

He told me at first that he shot it down for not clearing the airspace. I was probably 12-13 and obviously believed him since he had the picture and they were holing guns standing in front of it. Only later did I finally hear the truth!
