Full Body Burden: Kristen Iversen at Rocky Flats

Most of us believe that history is based on civil negotiations among representatives from all over the world. In fact, war was not only spreading to the battlefield but also all people who touched it. As far as nuclear weapons are concerned, the United States, like many other countries, is competing to produce some of the most deadly weapons. Kristen Iversen shared the experience at Rocky Flats, a nuclear power plant in Boulder Colorado, Colorado.

Iversen's new book "Burden of the whole body: growing with the shadow of nuclear energy of Rocky Flats" is part of a memoir on her family affair, and several dozen on environmental scandals involving Rocky Flats and its nuclear pollution It is a yearly survey. After the FBI agent attacked the factory in 1989, weapons production ended here. The business operator later convicted of a violation of the environmental law. However, in the early childhood of Iverson, people living near Rocky Plains did not know that construction of ballistic parts is near their home or that radioactive waste leaks into the surrounding environment. The factory's daily activities are very secret. In fact, the family of Iversen did not know that a neighbor working at the factory is making a living.

Kristen Iversen spent several years looking for something to write in Europe and then noticed that the biggest story she had ever reported was in her backyard. Iverson spent his childhood near the Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Factory in Colorado State, was playing in the field and was swimming in the lake and stream, now it seems that it is contaminated by cockroaches. After that, as a single mother, Iverson worked at the factory, but until she saw the function at night, I knew little about the environmental and health risks.

In the 1970s, I joined the poet Alan Ginsberg and activist Daniel Elsberg and participated in political protest action at the Rocky Flats Nuclear Power Plant in Colorado State near the University of Robert. Protesting the pits at the ruins of the Rocky Flats and the Savanna River in South Carolina. We helped turning off the Rocky Flats, but when I saw it hovering over this issue today, it is about how you clean the temple over and over again and again It reminded me of ancient Zen Maxim. You put it away, It looks good for the day, but you have to go back and do it again in the morning. There is an effort of Shishife in every kind of action, and it seems that it is urgently needed to solve these problems in a new way.
