- Maursault 5y ago> special agents > an elite and secret group of nuclear couriers, armed government agents employed by the Department of Energy The DoE has Special Agents, and probably Agents as well. I can understand particular missions being secret, but they can tell us what they were and what they did in general, and they really can't tell us what their group was actually called and what office or division of DoE [1] they worked under, and who, in particular, issued the order sending them to a Superfund site? Other things bother me about this article, as sad and concerning as its subject is. I'm no expert, but I've never heard of symptoms like that from radiation exposure, and how, exactly, do heavy metals get in their pubic hair if they did not actually consume them? Is it possible to absorb Aluminum through the skin? Can it be inhaled? Someone help me, please. [1] https://www.energy.gov/organization-chart https://www.energy.gov/organization-chart
