GOLDEN, Colo. — A lawsuit filed against the world's leading beryllium supplier alleges that the federal government knew the radioactive metal's harmful effect on workers but took little action.

        Fifty Rocky Flats workers are suing Brush Wellman Inc., a Cleveland-based company, claiming it and the federal government conspired to hide information that showed federal workplace safety standards for beryllium did not protect workers.

        The company shipped beryllium to Rocky Flats, where triggers for nuclear weapons were made. The trial is expected to begin Monday.
