My uncle worked at Hanford his entire life but his last few years of life were not good. He he retired with numerous health issues and was essentially a mental vegetable the last few years of his life. He was at Hanford from it's inception up to around the seventies when he retired.

Son of a Hanford man here. I believe my father started work at Hanford _after_ the bulk of their issues were wrapped up but I'm sure there was some increased exposure relative to background.

Sorry to hear about your uncle's experience, a lot of pain came out of that facility.

My grandfather was Kenneth Victor Stave. If that name means anything to your family.

Also, I dont know if your uncle was part of that suit against GE - but it may be something you want to look up.

I don't have any further info to provide on the subject, my grandfather passed in 1996. My grandmother last year. So I cant ask anyone...
