Ask the Jeffco School Board to ban field trips to Rocky Flats

http://www.jeffcopublicschools.org/about/board

Boulder Valley Schools recently adopted a resolution to ban field trips to Rocky Flats. Please protect children's health and ask the Jeffco School Board to do the same. There has been no testing since the floods of 2013, and the Superfund site has buried plutonium and other contaminants that are hazardous to children. These contaminants could be migrating and contaminating the refuge. Any contaminants that were spread across the refuge during the operating years of the nuclear weapons plant are still there today, because the cleanup was of the plant, not the buffer zone/refuge.

"It's a Cover-up, Not a Clean-up"

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/40051-it-s-a-cover-up-not-a-clean-up-nuclear-waste-smolders-in-sites-across-the-us

Our Logo, created by artist Jeff gipe, graphically shows the problem with Rocky Flats. The buildings where the nuclear triggers were produced were simply imploded and buried. The plutonium that is still there presents a problem when the buffer zone, now known as the Rocky Flats Nuclear National Wildlife Refuge, or Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge, is being opened to the public for recreation. The Colorado Department of public Health and environment compares the risks to that of chest x-rays, etc., ignoring the fact that plutonium is an alpha emitter, not gamma. plutonium is extremely dangerous once it is taken into the body by inhalation, ingestion, or through a cut.

The above article starts with a discussion of the US budget allocated for cleanups. I wonder what the yearly cost is for the "legacy" at Rocky flats. There are approximately 15 full-time employees working there, undertaking projects to keep the remaining waste contained and to monitor contaminants.
