...You should really check on a few things before getting too carried away. After all, nuclear material doesn't just end up in milk. You're implying an extra step of adulterating milk that was otherwise clean.
...Also, you're assuming that this adulteration continued throughout the course of your grandfather's life, and not just the duration of the (inarguably unethical if conducted as described) research.
Regardless though, none of that is your fault. That was him, you're you. Don't take on your shoulders culpability that has no business being there, and just focus on being better.
If you do find papers describing the research, however, there are worse ways to handle it than going to the press/Congress to possibly see if you can track down surviving descendants through application of copious amounts of FOIA.
Unlike you, the Government absolutely does still hold culpability for any such research it did. That'd be right up there with the Tuskeegee syphilis experiments there.
Its with weird realization at 48 years old I am finally able to understand some of the things that my grandfather was silently telling me.
Its not my fault - but I didnt know until I was able to see ;; I have been a "conspiracy theroist" for many years thinking all was golden.
My grandfather, now I know - through his gaze - through his eyes "the window to the soul" - He wanted to tell me, but couldnt tell me until I could understand.
Now that my grandmother has passed at 100 - I now know.
I now know.
My fathers father built hanford.
My mothers father was a weapons person on the Enola Gay.
