Silkwood trial defense case tests Kerr-McGee negligence
Kerr-McGee faces the defense in the $11.5 million Silkwood plutonium contamination case after 24 witnesses.

The Silkwood Estate accuses Kerr-McGee of negligence over contamination found in Silkwood’s Edmond apartment and her subsequent death in November 1974.
