520 1  "Just as huge nuclear explosions result from small spheres
       of plutonium, the story of the Rocky Flats nuclear weapons
       plant near Denver, Colorado, is much larger than itself. 
       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.
