    Default Rocky Flats

    I just finishing up a book about Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant- The Ambushed Grand Jury. Interesting book. Did anyone work there previously? Any good stories you could share?

    For years I had an oppertunity to purchase a mess of paintguns that they used for training there. They would have needed to be converted from .62 cal to .68 to be useable and the price wasn't in line to make it feasable. Every time I was offered them in the back of my head I though they probably glowed in the dark...after all the info that has come out about the place that may not have been too far from the truth.

    The couple times I was sent out there during cleanup, I swore I could feel the radiation or something........the guys that were working on site swore it was safe and the feeling was in my head. They also suggested I not blow out air filters and just replace them, LOL.

    I've heard that you have to sign a release when you purchase there that removes all liability from the developer for any physical ailments you might develop from exposure to radioactive material. No shit.
