It is about the Church family, who came west seeking gold in 1861, stayed to raise cattle, watched the federal government take a large piece of its land for the weapons plant in 1951 - and now is busily developing real estate in the booming suburbs next to the contaminated plant site. It is about the government and private corporations that produced the deadliest devices in history for thirty- seven years, concealed problems behind the wall of national security secrecy, and came close to a Chernobyl- scale disaster during a 1969 fire. 520 8 It is about plant managers who cut corners to maintain weapons production, workers who saw themselves as loyal Cold War soldiers, and citizen activists who challenged the plant's very existence. And it is about a community that profited from thousands of jobs and contracts but now faces long-term environmental and health risks."--Jacket. 600 30 Church family.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85025605 600 37 Church family.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/212072 610 20 Rocky Flats Plant (U.S.)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n95063767|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005024 610 27 Rocky Flats Plant (U.S.)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/708111 647 7 Rocky Flats Plant Fire|c(United States :|d1957)|2fast |0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1354614 647 7 Rocky Flats Plant Fire|c(United States :|d1969)|2fast |0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1354615 650 0 Nuclear weapons plants|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh89000363|xEnvironmental aspects|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005383|zColorado. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80125532-781 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Nuclear weapons plants|xEnvironmental aspects.|2fast |0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1041042 650 7 Nuclear weapons plants.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1041037 651 0 Golden Region (Colo.)|xHistory. 651 7 Colorado.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1210251 901 MARCIVE 20231220 948 |d20160930|clti|tlti-aex 994 C0|bRID
