You all may want to follow some of health-related issues at DOEWatch. RF was likely located next to this coal mining community for the same reason Oak Ridge was located in coal mining Appalachia.
Coal mines put heavy metals leachate into the water and dust into the air.
Which industries like the plutonium and uranium like to hide in. To leave out already toxically burdened communities and not study the effects of added Pu or other dusts into the lungs and food chain is close to toxic murder cover up. These populations are more susceptable to any additional air toxics and especially respirable ones delivered by air with 200 year biological half life in bone. The bone white cell B-lymphocites are very involved in the processes of cancers and these are damaged from coal mine metals or RF Pu emissions and the cumulative effects can be murderous. Doing such things is intentionally bad science and bad service to the communties.
