Uranium fallout By Heather Draper, Rocky Mountain News
Twenty years after the Union Carbide uranium mill in Uravan closed in 1984, a group of 82 former Uravan residents and descendants of company employees is suing Union Carbide and its wholly owned subsidiary Umetco Minerals Corp., blaming the companies for a variety of suspected mining- and milling-related illnesses and genetic disorders.
The lawsuit, asking for unspecified monetary damages, was filed Jan. 23 in Denver federal court.
Although it may be difficult to prove so many years later, the lawsuit charges that 'hazardous substances, both radioactive and nonradioactive, were spread throughout the town' and that plaintiffs died or suffered physical injury as a result of exposure to radioactive and nonradioactive hazardous substances released by Union Carbide's uranium mining and milling facilities in Montrose County.------------------------------------------- posted 5:18 AM :: reference link ::
