Define “broadly.” The industry has set limits of exposure per year and defends itself against medical claims that workers file by counter claiming that there’s a safe limit.

How about an article from the National Library of Medicine?

Beryllium’s Public Relations Problem: Protecting Workers
“n a dramatic announcement on a national television news magazine in April 2000, Bill Richardson, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), acknowledged that his agency collaborated with the beryllium industry to defeat a 1975 attempt by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to reduce workers’ exposure to beryllium, a collaboration that was brought to public attention in a 1999 investigation by Toledo Blade reporter Sam Roe.1 “Priority one was production of our nuclear weapons,” Richardson stated. “[The] last priority was the safety and health of the workers that build these weapons.”2”

Beryllium’s Public Relations Problem: Protecting Workers

Ok you are here spouting anti-nuclear nonsense and advocating keeping research funding flowing for the fake-science EPA crowd. Can't deal with one of the world's problems, you raise all of the world's problems.

Your friends are the genius's who landed us with the NK mess, believing that we could counter the sick monster by negotiating the right kinds of papers with him.

You and your friends have a lot to answer for. An awful lot. You fantasies about unicorns have made your community of communities a laughing stock.
