    Apr 24 2025
    After Karen Silkwood’s tragic and fatal car wreck, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol began an investigation fast. In a matter of a couple days, Trooper Rick Fagan determined Karen’s car to have left the road as the result of falling asleep at the wheel, possibly aided by the use of drugs. But the Oil, Chemical, and Atomic Workers Union, based on inconsistencies and perhaps errors within the official report, believed Karen might have been ran off the road by someone with nefarious intentions – to silence her before she could meet with New York Times reporter David Burnham. An expert they hired to give the scene and circumstances another look agreed that it wasn’t an accident.

    Contaminated
    Mar 7 2025
    Karen Silkwood was exposed to dangerous levels of plutonium in November 1974. After discovering contamination on her body, she found that it had spread throughout her skin and lungs, with dangerously high levels in both. But the situation worsened. The contamination had spread to her personal life as well. Levels of plutonium were found in her apartment that were so high, all of her belongings had to be destroyed. Her activism against unsafe working conditions made her a target. In the final days it became clear that Silkwood's contamination had not been accidental. The extent of Silkwood’s contamination and the calculated risks taken by those in power would ultimately become a key part of her tragic story.

    Making a Difference
    Jan 30 2025
    As Karen Silkwood continued to risk her own safety and livelihood by covertly taking documents from Kerr-McGee that, it is believed, suggested both neglegence and cover-up, she began noticing that not only was she seeking to make a change, she was also going through changes. She attributed her health issues to circumstances and events outside of the Cimarron plutonium plant, but when she registered hot for contamination at work, Karen began second guessing. Was her contamination an accident or intentional?
