Secrets of the Atomic City

Ron Fowler and Chuck Deuschle, former workers at a uranium-enrichment plant in Paducah, Kentucky, are sharing their decades-long fight to expose how the facility exposed employees to dangerous levels of radiation and toxic chemicals while concealing the truth. Both men are now seriously ill and believe their health problems stem from their work at the plant, yet they remain committed to ensuring the public knows about the government and contractors' negligence toward atomic workers. Their story takes on new urgency as a private firm announced plans in 2025 to revive uranium-enrichment operations at the same facility.
