LeRoy Moore, PhD
Founder Rocky Flats Nuclear Guardianship

Wednesday, May 27th

 

This presentation offers a brief look at the complex and controversial history of the Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plant, from the beginning of production in 1952 to the rise of massive opposition in the 1970s and 80s and the end of production after the FBI raided the plant in 1989 to collect data of illegal activity. Following this are key details of the questionable Superfund “cleanup” of the site that left to local people a permanently contaminated environment that endangers public health.
