Description

INTRODUCTION For over fifty years, workers at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PGDP) in western Kentucky were exposed to dangerous amounts of toxic radiation--largely without their knowledge. Since the news of the exposure exploded onto the national press in the late 1990s, (1) over six thousand compensation claims have been filed with the Department of Labor, and more than $175 million has been paid out. (2) Other workers--joined by the Department of Justice--have opted to file separate lawsuits, claiming that the PGDP's operators fraudulently withheld information from them. (3) Individuals with property adjacent to the PGDP have also filed suit. (4) The legal fallout from the PGDP contamination is destined to keep federal courts busy for years to come.
