Book Full Body Burden

Download or read book Full Body Burden written by Kristen Iversen and published by Crown. This book was released on 2013-06-04 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An intimate and deeply human memoir that shows why we should all be concerned about nuclear safety, and the dangers of ignoring science in the name of national security.”—Rebecca Skloot, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks A shocking account of the government’s attempt to conceal the effects of the toxic waste released by a secret nuclear weapons plant in Colorado and a community’s vain search for justice—soon to be a feature documentary Kristen Iversen grew up in a small Colorado town close to Rocky Flats, a secret nuclear weapons plant once designated "the most contaminated site in America." Full Body Burden is the story of a childhood and adolescence in the shadow of the Cold War, in a landscape at once startlingly beautiful and--unknown to those who lived there--tainted with invisible yet deadly particles of plutonium. It's also a book about the destructive power of secrets--both family and government. Her father's hidden liquor bottles, the strange cancers in children in the neighborhood, the truth about what was made at Rocky Flats--best not to inquire too deeply into any of it. But as Iversen grew older, she began to ask questions and discovered some disturbing realities. Based on extensive interviews, FBI and EPA documents, and class-action testimony, this taut, beautifully written book is both captivating and unnerving.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tucked up against the Rocky Mountains, just west of Denver, sits the remnants of one of the most notorious nuclear weapons sites in North America: Rocky Flats. With a history of environmental catastrophes, political neglect, and community-wide health crises, this site represents both one of the darkest and most controversial chapters in our nation's history, and also a conundrum on repurposing lands once considered lost. As the crush of encroaching residential areas close in on this site and the generation of Rocky Flats workers passes on, the memory of Rocky Flats is receding from the public mind; yet the need to responsibly manage the site, and understand the consequences of forty years of plutonium production and contamination, must be a part of every decision for the land's future.

Book excerpt: The Saga of Rocky Flats covers the sixty-nine year history of a nuclear weapons component production site as a lessons learned book toward a safer nuclear world in the 21st Century. The presentation is presented in three chronological Epochs. The first Epoch from 1951 until 1989 resulted in the production of 70,000 first stage plutonium igniters for thermonuclear weapons, each of the power of the bomb which destroyed Nagasaki.The second Epoch from 1986 through 1994 was when the case of Rocky Flats was transformed by the criminal justice system, the first FBI raid on another facility of the U.S. government, and by the clash between "separate but equal" branches of U.S. constitutional government.The third Epoch is a continuing clash since 1990 over future uses of the original 6,500 acres now surrounded by suburbs of Denver, Colorado.The three approaches to scientific inquiry provide an evidence-based answer to the challenge posed by Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1951: to defend America without violating the principles and precepts of our way of life--not destroying from within what we are trying to protect from without.
