Highland City Club presents:
LeRoy Moore, PhD
Founder Rocky Flats Nuclear Guardianship

Wednesday, May 27th
12:00pm - 1:30pm

This presentation offers a brief look at the complex and controversial history of the Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plant, from the beginning of production in 1952 to the rise of massive opposition in the 1970s and 80s and the end of production after the FBI raided the plant in 1989 to collect data of illegal activity. Following this are key details of the questionable Superfund “cleanup” of the site that left to local people a permanently contaminated environment that endangers public health.

 A former academic, LeRoy Moore, PhD, has focused on the Rocky Flats nuclear bomb plant since he learned about its existence in 1978. He worked with many others to end production at Rocky Flats, and then advocated for the best possible cleanup, only to be disappointed with a cheaper, less responsible outcome. LeRoy Moore is the author of numerous articles, papers, and op-eds on all aspects of the Rocky Flats issue. He served on various oversight bodies related to Rocky Flats, and for several years was a member of two committees of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements. From 1980 until he retired in 1996, he taught courses on nonviolent social change at the University of Colorado.
