Full Body Burden: Growing Up in the Nuclear Shadow of Rocky Flats by Kristen Iversen

3.0

This was an interesting memoir/history of a nuclear weapon facility and its employees. It is always amazing to me that things like this are established in an area and no one wonders whether it could be a serious safety risk for the people working there and the people living nearby. I liked the back and forth structure of the book with the personal being a nice break from all the detail of the science and the legal interventions. It was a bit too long, in my opinion, but I’m glad to have read it.
