excerpt from Dark Circle 1982 documentary
Rocky Flats in Colorado was an atomic weapons production site, that suffered plutonium fires in both 1957 and 1969, accidentally releasing plutonium into the atmosphere, with Denver downwind. The plant also released particles of plutonium from the stacks under 'normal operating conditions', meaning the DoD and AEC were continually contaminating the land and people, as part of the nuclear weapons complex, so long as the plant operated.
Ingestion of plutonium particles means the body being bombarded by internal radiation from alpha particles. This likely will lead to cancer, down the line.
