	Rocky Flats Phase II
		The Rocky Flats Historical Public Exposures Studies was a nine-year research project in which the potential health effects from past releases of radioactive materials and chemicals from the former Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant, located northwest of Denver, Colorado, were identified and assessed.
		Carbon tetrachloride, a solvent used at Rocky Flats for cleaning and degreasing, was the key chemical of concern released from the plant.
		Rocky Flats is located in a complex terrain and airflow environment, and atmospheric transport models often perform poorly under such conditions.

	The Lessons of Nuclear Secrecy at Rocky Flats
		Both the Rocky Flats study and Ackland's book show that secrecy worsened many plant safety and health problems, and greatly reduced both the plant management's accountability and the public's trust in its words.
		In 1989, the FBI raided the plant, suspecting that the plant was wantonly violating environmental laws.
		Like at Rocky Flats, the public is skeptical of claims that the health risks from plutonium and uranium exposure were minimal.

	Rocky Flats Risk from Beryllium Releases
		The purpose of the Historical Public Exposures Studies on Rocky Flats is to identify potential health effects in residents in nearby communities who may have been exposed to past toxic and radioactive releases.
		Barrick (1983) studied beryllium in soil near the RFP and estimated beryllium releases from the plant.
		The RFP beryllium releases were less than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) discharge limit of 10 g per stationary source for a 24-hour period (EPA 1973) in the 1970s.

	Rocky Flats Soil and Sediment Study Summary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		After the 1989 FBI raid on the Rocky Flats Plant, an agreement between the State of Colorado and the Department of Energy (DOE) provided financial support for various health related and environmental studies administered by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE).
		It soon became apparent to the panel that Rocky Flats Plant records of contaminant releases were incomplete and that the task of assembling quality exposure data would be difficult.
		These concentrations are consistent with known periods of release of radioactive material from the Rocky Flats Plant (e.g., the 1969 fire and the 903 Pad area) and the deposition of materials from global nuclear fallout during some of those same time periods.

	Rocky Flats Grand Jury Report
		This criminal enterprise continues to operate today at the Rocky Flats Plant, and it promises to continue operating into the future unless our Government, it's contractors, and their respective employees are made subject to the law.
		Indeed, the Plant has been and continues to be operated by government and corporate employees, who have placed themselves above the law and who have hidden their illegal conduct behind the public's trust by engaging in a continuing campaign of distraction, deception, and dishonesty.
		Since these government employees were in charge of the Plant, and since they took virtually no action to comply with environmental laws in operating the Plant, they must be held accountable for their complicity with and toleration of criminal acts at the Plant.

		When the FBI subsequently decided to raid the Plant, the FBI relied primarily on that Permit application and other documents, which had been and were subsequently filed with CDH to show that there was probable cause to believe that criminal acts had been committed by DOE and Rockwell at the Plant.
		The root of the problem at the Plant was and continues to be the negligent mismanagement of wastes at the Rocky Flat Plant.
		After the FBI raided the Plant, Rockwell suspended attempts to recover plutonium from the residues, which were then stored at the Plant and which Rockwell had been placing in storage continuously from at least 1979 forward.
