A Missouri
couple says their home is contaminated with dangerously high levels of
radioactive waste left over from the US government’s second world
war-era atomic weapons program.
In a lawsuit filed in the St Louis County circuit court on Tuesday,
Robbin and Mike Dailey of Bridgeton say dust samples collected from
their kitchen and basement were found to contain the radioactive element
thorium-230 at levels about 200 times higher than normal “background”
levels. In a move they hope shines a light on the continuing impact of
the country’s early nuclear weapons program on their midwestern city,
the Daileys named nine companies in their lawsuit that they say are
responsible for decades of negligence that led to the contamination of
their property.
