A Miracle With A Price
Part 1 in a 7 part series published in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch from February 12-19, 1989. The special series unlocked the secrets behind radioactive waste in St. Louis and took months of effort by three Post Dispatch reporters – Carolyn Bower, Louis J. Rose and Theresa Tighe. The series was called "Legacy Of The Bomb – St. Louis Nuclear Waste" and what came out of their investigation was a graphic picture of how waste was generated, how it was spread haphazardly throught the area, the difficulty in cleaning it up and the lingering confusion over how hazardous it really is.
