## Resource

A new bill in Washington could bring long-overdue relief to Southern Colorado residents affected by radiation from Cold War-era nuclear projects. Expanding the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act, it would include victims exposed to waste from the Manhattan Project — including those near the Cotter Uranium Mill and Rocky Flats — and boost payouts for those suffering from decades of toxic exposure. One woman, whose mother and she both battled breast cancer and whose father blew the whistle on dangers at Cotter, has fought for justice for 40 years — while her community’s Superfund site remains dangerously contaminated. With U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen backing the bill, lawmakers may finally be listening to those still paying the price for America’s nuclear past.
