#Downwinders
You should see the AI denials to most calamities, especially involving orphan source radioactive contamination. It is as if downwinders are figment of someone's imagination. Or AEC-DOE-NRC records losses including library fires -- the government has all receipts & no one got hurt.

Hell,

At @unlv.edu, doctors offer free screenings and support to “downwinders,” or patients who were exposed to radioactive fallout from above-ground nuclear testing decades ago, and are still living with the consequences. This investment in our communities is one way academic medicine #WorksForAmerica.

We talked to the Downwinders today. These people have a generational claim against being exposed against knowledge and will to lethal doses of radiation. Legislation is finally moving forward but they deserve much much more than is being offered.
I’m sorry for your family’s involvement. It sucks.

In 1942 the Army reserved about 1.25 million acres of the Tularosa Basin for a bombing range, and some ranching families were forced to leave. The first atomic bomb was tested nearby in 1945. A 1990 compensation law left out New Mexico downwinders; Congress added the state in 2025.

The Radiation Exposure Compensation Act provided up to $50,000 for downwinders, primarily those Paiute Indians and Mormon farmers exposed to atmospheric nuclear testing, $75,000 for those exposed by actually participating in atmospheric nuclear testing, and $100,000 to uranium miners.

When asked about local apprehension among downwinders, the Representative said nuclear power plants differ from above-ground testing, pointed to U.S.-designed plants being built in Europe, and cited Valor Atomics reaching criticality as evidence of progress.

Maybe I can get my father's US Army nuclear blast records now. Couldn't do it when the atomic vet & downwinders' benefit window was still open ffs.

What a shit show.

If there is a nuclear "incident" in Fremantle, we are all downwinders. Previous nuclear tests out West set off radiation alarms in Brisbane.
