WASHINGTON, Aug. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — The Mesothelioma Victims Center now believes the second largest group of diagnosed victims of mesothelioma they have helped over the years are power plant workers, or individuals who worked in a nuclear power plant in the 1950's, 1960's, 1970's, or 1980's. As they would like to explain to any diagnosed victim or their family members with one call to 866-714-6466, power plants are in every state, they all contained asbestos in the time frames outlined, and some of the settlements for power plant workers can easily exceed one million dollars, provided the victim really does have the nation's best mesothelioma compensation attorneys working in their behalf. http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com

The Mesothelioma Compensation Center says, "Second only to US Navy Veterans over the years we have helped more diagnosed workers who were exposed to asbestos while working at any kind of power plant than any other workgroup. In most instances power plant workers who called us about their mesothelioma diagnosis were typically exposed to asbestos in the 1950's, 1960's, 1970's, or 1980's, and all of them typically described their exposure to asbestos at a power plant as extreme. When we say power plant workers, we mean plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, maintenance crewmembers, insulators, boiler technicians, or welders.
"If you, or a loved one is a former power plant worker, or a family member of a former power plant worker who has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, please call us anytime 866-714-6466, for instant access to the nation's most skilled mesothelioma compensation attorneys, who are also specialists in mesothelioma compensation for power plant workers." http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com
Not long ago the USA EPA did an article titled the anatomy of a coal fired power plant. The Mesothelioma Victims Center believes this could be an incredibly helpful resource for individuals who were exposed to asbestos at a power plant decades ago, and now have been diagnosed with mesothelioma. http://www.epa.gov/region6/6en/x/workshops/2012-may/presentations/michelle-baetz-anatomy-of-coal-fired-power-plant.pdf.
