In an action based on alleged radiation injuries to residents of a former uranium and vanadium milling town owned and operated by defendants, summary judgment for defendants is affirmed where: 1) plaintiffs’ personal-injury claims failed for lack of evidence of factual causation; and 2) plaintiffs’ medical-monitoring claims failed for lack of evidence of a “bodily injury” as required by the Price-Anderson Act.
