Description: Harold "Hotsy" Hargan worked for the Atomic Energy Commission at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant where he encountered many problems that could possibly be a hazard to the public.  Hotsy battled with supervisors over the neglect.  The supervising contractor just moved Hotsy from site to site exposing him time and time again to radiation. Hotsy contracted cancer and finally decided to blow the whistle working with the Justice Department and the FBI which he soon found was just a whitewash for the government.
