Reply #3: I lived outside Ambrosia Lake NM in 1958

and saw uranium piles daily. I saw it blow in the wind as it was only contained with an atlas fence. Our school bus went right through the dust. Piles of pitch blend cores were all over the ranch land from test drilling. My father died with stomach cancer, My mother and 2 sister and myself all are hypothyroid. So yeah this stuff is horrible.

Now in my state, Nebraska, the uranium is being mined by injecting water underground to get more uranium. Our wonderful governor gives his full consent to this. Of course he does not live anywhere near the areas this is happening. This can and will contaminate wells. So it starts all over again. This technique is being used in SD on oil wells and has contaminated drinking wells.

When I lived/worked in another state, a ranch family came into where I worked. They were all to have thyroid ultrasounds because their well was contaminated with cesium-137. They lived next to a large air force base with underground nuclear missiles. The mother and one of the 3 children had thyroid nodules.

How the cesium got into their water is/was unknown but the military was the ones that alerted them to test their well.
