The U.S. Department of Energy insists there is no public health threat posed by the Portsmouth Gaseus Diffusion Plant (PORTS), a former uranium enrichment complex in southern Ohio that produced America's nuclear weapons, but our award-winning Local 12 Investigation, "Fallout" has uncovered radioactive contamination and one of America's highest cancer and death rates in communities that surround the plant. In this hour-long special, Local 12's Chief Investigative Reporter Duane Pohlman continues his five-year probe, hosting a historic gathering of hundreds of cancer victims and their families who tell their tragic stories, as he pushes for answerrs and accountability from elected leaders, regulators, and scientists.
