You may be very angry at the government for exposing you and your family to a potentially harmful substance.
People were involuntarily exposed to radioactive substances as a result of routine,intentional and accidental releases.
You may be resentful that the releases were kept secret for so many years.
Some people spent years trying to obtain classified documents so that Hanford's secrets could finally be revealed.Some documents still remain classified.
You may be fearful or anxious that you or your children may get sick in the future.Feeling overwhelmed you may have a diagnosed disease and are overwhelmed by the prospect of living with it,or you may be ill,but healthcare providers haven't diagnosed the problem.
