Atlanta, Georgia. August 8, 1983. The Manhattan Project hired Dr. Morgan to be director of Health Physics at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He helped determine the radiation limits for workers who produced the first atomic bombs. Dr. Morgan went on to serve as director of Health Physics at Oak Ridge for 29 years.

"There is no safe level of radiation exposure. So the question is not: What is a safe level? The question is: How great is the risk?"

Pittsburgh . August 16, 1982. In 1965, the U.S. government hired Dr. Mancuso to study the radiation exposure records of over 225,000 atomic workers in America's nuclear weapons industry. After 15 years Mancuso concluded that "low level" exposures over a long period significantly increased workers' chances of developing cancer and that levels considered safe by industry standards were at least 10 times too high. When Mancuso published his findings, the government cut his funds, removed him from the study, and confiscated his data.

"Radiation is the most important subject in the world, and it will be forever, because of the thousands of nuclear weapons and bombs, and the constant threat to civilization and the world. Unfortunately there is no way to continue to study and make known the full rang of effects without large sums of independent funding."

The Commercial Nuclear Industry would like you to believe that it is safe, and is not tied into the Military Nuclear Weapons Industry.  Depleted Uranium is a byproduct of the commercial nuclear fuel process.  With that thought in mind, here is another news story about nuclear harm and death that the nuclear industry claims is not their fault.

They were told depleted uranium was not hazardous. Now, 23 years after a US arms plant closed, workers and residents have cancer - and experts say their suffering shows the use of such weapons may be a war crime
