Dow cited for unreported radioactive leaks at Rocky Flats
The Atomic Energy Commission says Dow Chemical failed to report two radioactive leaks from its Rocky Flats facility over five years. One incident in 1968 released tritium, another earlier this year reached Broomfield water via a Rocky Flats smokestack and waste stream. The AEC also charged no alarm system was installed to detect future leaks.
