KEPT-QUIET NUCLEAR
FACILITY CONTAMINATES
POOLESVILLE

Former Cobalt-60 Site May Be
Making Residents Sick

EXCLUSIVE DETAILS ONLY HERE ON

WJLA 7 has reported a suspicious incidence of rare cancers diagnosed in several Poolesville residents who live on the same street. This is again a case of previous concerns I have raised gaining new credibility with new developments.

There is one major part that I was not aware of, and no one else I've spoken to in the last 48 hours is either: a defunct Dickerson nuclear facility that was quietly the site of an environmental catastrophe.

I've talked - and posted on the internet - for ten years about the power plant at Dickerson, and we've also learned of a sewage site and a toxic waste dump on PEPCO property adjacent to the Potomac river. A nearby resident has apparently been silenced in his effort to get that site cleaned up, and we've heard nothing since in the press.

But this Neutron Products, Inc. site is news to me and every other average citizen of Montgomery County. Apparently, a dramatic legal battle played out quietly between residents, the Maryland Department of the Environment, and Neutron Products, Inc. My understanding is that, while the state was successful in closing down the facility, the site and contamination which spread to homes and railroad and industrial sites in nearby Poolesville were never cleaned up.

This latest cancer development is frightening but not surprising. While documents show that the plant has shut down, this material (Cobalt-60) has not been contained and is spreading.

Furthermore, exclusive to www.RobertDyer.net, I have obtained a document which shows that Neutron Products, Inc. has recently filed with the state of Maryland for a permit to build a water treatment plant at the (supposedly shuttered) site! Watch out Deer Park and Vitamin Water - that sounds like some real healthy water!

Finally, you as residents of the county should know - and have not been informed by our all-Democrat county executive and council - that Cobalt-60 plants are known terrorist targets for the al-Qaeda organization. Therefore, by permitting this toxic site to remain, the county and state Democrat governments have put all of us at risk. The site could be targeted by terrorists, and the Cobalt-60 material is also sought after as small amounts are highly toxic.

Stay tuned for more exclusive details, but I had to get this up ASAP as The Washington Post and other outlets are ignoring this environmental catastrophe and new reports of illness.
