Now, hear newly-discovered investigative tapes, deathbed revelations and long-awaited interviews reexamining what happened that night. Fifty years later, the story still resonates: nuclear secrets, threats to the powerful, and why the truth stubbornly refuses to stay buried. You can listen to more episodes of Radioactive at https://abcaudio.com/podcasts/radioactive-the-karen-silkwood-mystery/
