Not to sound callous but Life is not fair. If you can consider your loss helped America to win wars and continue its freedoms it may lessen a little of the pain. What is troubling is how the government continues to tell us lies regarding just how safe different industries are… think fracking/etc. They lead us to believe they will make sure things are safe, when in reality what they really do is make sure their family and friends make millions off the projects they lie to us about!!! The government, like banks, are NOT our friends!!!
Should be able to sue
What about the oilfield and what bill Richardson did?
The local politicians don’t care. The whole Grants area is contaminated
As someone who worked sinking a shaft for Uranium at crown point NM back in the late 70’s (OPEC dried up petroleum and Phillips decided to diversify into nuclear power) I was a Shaft sinker (Australian) Employed by Cementation to sink on to the uranium ore-body. I asked the Government inspectors about Radon Gas,( I knew about it as it was a hot button topic in Australia Mary Kathleen mine in Queensland) and were they testing for it? They said no as we weren’t near the uranium orebodies. Thankfully Three mile Island had a meltdown, OPEC backed down and overproduced gasoline, and lots of people lost their ‘hardon’ for nuclear. I returned to the land of OZ with my wife and kids and lived happily ever after. Take-away trust no one especially governments and their minions.
And the government stopped the uranium compensation act and gave that money to Pakistan 🇵🇰 for gender studies
Some people like to sit in the road. Who am I to judge?
