Allies Unite To Prevent New Uranium Mines Until Old Ones Are Cleaned Up [1]

"MILAN, N.M. - Jonnie and Milton Head's granddaughter won't bring her children to visit them at their home here in the Bluewater Valley. 'There's five times the EPA recommended daily dosage of airborne radiation,' Jonnie explains.

The Heads are among a number of families living adjacent to the Superfund uranium mill tailings cleanup site of Homestake Mining Co., a subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corp. in Northwest New Mexico."
