Atomic Man Gets Closure at Nuclear Weapons Site





Atomic Man Gets Closure at Nuclear Weapons Site
Atomic Man's laboratory is finally getting cleaned-up and dismantled 38 years after an explosion that covered a radworker named Harold McCluskey with a massive dose of radiation. He survived to become known as the Atomic Man and the lab was dubbed the McCluskey Room. It surprised everyone that he did not die from any radiation-induced health effect, but from congestive heart failure as a result of a long-standing coronary artery disease at the age of 75.
