I have that one in my files on the Mound and as far as I am concerned that was a PR attempt by the people in charge to deny that anyone ever suffered radiation poisoning at the Mound. Yet the Dayton newspapers had many stories of people who lived near the site dying of cancer when there was no record of cancer in their families. Tritium, one of the things used in detonators at the time, exists as a gas and it was released accidentally more than once.

I have shown the NIOSH work to an advisor who has worked on many of the cases from Mound workers. His comment on reading the Dose Reconstruction document was that its author deserves the Nobel prize for Fiction. AFAIK the Dept of Labor EEOIC group 's sole function is to deny all claims, should be renamed EEOID.

I have read just about every document available on the T building. If II was to believe them that building only ever had two floors. They never talk about all the floors that were deep underground. The lab opposite the one where my Florence worked became so contaminated they sealed it, but the damage had already been done.

The decontamination and decommissioning of that site has just about doubled the first cost estimate. Documentation is missing because according to the stories they became contaminated and were sent to Los Alamos for burial.
