Merrylander, we pray for you every week and are very, very sorry that you lost your soulmate. The conditions that so many of these workers operated and worked under were deplorable by modern standards, yet the US government in its secretive zeal and desire to minimize settlements, for years denied and hid the very environments they had government contract workers exposed to every day.

I have three friends in the industry that worked at Mound on the cleanup, one or two who probably worked the very areas your wife worked. For anyone who doubts, the risks and dangers were real, and very pervasive and deadly to many over the years.

As far as the various nuke plant tritium leaks, they are numerous and widespread at this time, as most plants for a number of years were monitoring for cobalt60 and isotopes other than tritium, which is quite low on the relative risk level.
