Environment & Energy

Yes we in southeastern Iowa also had newspaper warnings about fallout in milk.
Our family bought milk straight from the dairy .50 a gallon. To be exposed you had to drink milk that was within 48 hours after contamination. My mom , my older brother and I all have thyroid cancer .
First thing my endocrinologist asked me was, where did you get exposed to radiation ?
The Iowa atomic energy plant workers which was 30 miles away all received government compensation but we down winders did not. Senator Tom Harkin started the program after his brother passed away from thyroid cancer.
