This may be the most emotional and important episode of The Rundown with Rene Knott to date.
Rene sits down with Don from Just Moms STL and Danielle from the St. Louis County Executive’s office to discuss the lasting impact of Manhattan Project nuclear waste in North County — and what justice looks like more than seventy years later.
They talk about generational cancer diagnoses, homes being demolished, and allegations of a government cover-up under the label of “national security.” The conversation also dives into RECA compensation, what it covers, who qualifies, and why many believe it’s only the beginning of accountability.
At its core, this episode asks a difficult question:
Is financial compensation enough to heal decades of harm?
If you or your family lived, worked, or went to school in impacted ZIP codes, this is a conversation you need to hear.
