So many uninformed people advocate nuclear power, repeating the mantra “it’s the safest form of power.” Meanwhile, since the 1950s, the Portsmouth, Ohio “Ports” uranium processing plant has been releasing toxic radioactive wastes into the environment, “causing clusters of cancer” locally. This article tells of a whistleblower complaint and RICO lawsuit against the facility. The workers were exposed to the toxic radioactive chemicals; they turned off the alarms that warned of those elements in the workers’ environment. We may never know how many deaths may have been caused in the past, and how many more deaths may be caused by the contamination of the environment in the future.
