nuclear weapons workers

Recognizing the sacrifices made by nuclear weapons workers and their family members in the interest of our national defense.

One important part of history not shown in the movie “Oppenheimer” is the sacrifice made by tens of thousands of nuclear weapons workers.

The Navajo Nation in the Four Corners region has been an important area for both coal and uranium mining.

Every Oct. 30, we remember the sacrifices made by nuclear weapons workers and their family members in the interest of our national defense.

On National Day of Remembrance for Nuclear Energy Workers, we thank these workers and their families for the role they played in ensuring the security we enjoy today and remember those we've lost.
