Coloradans were exposed to radiation for decades. Now Congress might make them eligible for compensation.
“There’s finally some acknowledgement that people have been impacted by living by Rocky Flats,” said Tiffany Hansen, director of the nonprofit Rocky Flats Downwinders.

Brabants kitesurfduo Ole (21) en Senna (21) legt Hoek tot Helder af en houdt zelfs energie over voor een toegift
Brabants kitesurfduo Ole (21) en Senna (21) legt Hoek tot Helder af en houdt zelfs energie over voor een toegift
Bij de Tocht der Tochten denk je gelijk aan Friesland. Wat minder lang, maar misschien (bijna) even heroïsch en afhankelijk van het weer, is de kitesurftocht Hoek tot Helder. Bosschenaar Ole Nieuweweme is er samen met zijn buddy Senna Rabou uit Vught in geslaagd de downwinder op de Noordzee te volbrengen.

This could have been the digital equivalent of being a downwinder in Nevada.

The downwinder community in NM traces its roots to the 1945 Trinity Test, the world’s first detonation of a nuclear weapon, in the Tularosa Basin.

For Tina Cordova, the cause is personal. Five generations of her family have been diagnosed with cancer, she said.

"All of society right now—all of our knowledge, data, lives, careers, and jobs—is effectively a “downwinder” of the AI companies’ testing and deployment of technologies they don’t fully understand and don’t care enough to constrain effectively."
Wondering why data centers are as unpopular as nuclear waste? It's not the data centers.

The problem is both more obvious and more fundamental: The daily lived experience of the AI boom sucks. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ai-is-maki...
AI is making everything worse
The political problem isn't the data centers — it's that AI is a turd mountain looming over daily life.

So you had the misfortune to be a “downwinder”. I am truly so sorry. Your story is important because nuclear stuff has been so quiet in so many years that whole generations are unaware. Data center noise and light is already bad, but it’s not the same as radiation, case in point. ❤️‍🩹

Thank you, Tina Cordova @trinity_Downwinders, for sharing your story at the San Onofre Symposium. "There are no winners. There's only losers." Her decades of downwinder advocacy remind us why getting nuclear waste policy right matters. 🙏 #SanOnofre

Stalin had his Semipalatinsk but the US had Hanford.
Hanford was no accident, it was an experiment.
You may qualify as a downwinder for some monetary compensation.
Sickening.

This movie covers a subject personal to my family as my grandpa was a Downwinder. The bombs took his life and the memories I would have made with him.
The testing of the nuclear bombs in New Mexico created devestation, which hurt my family, that last today and the movie First We Bombed New Mexico tells those stories. Check out this piece of important and forgotten history.

This is not a defense of nuclear weapons, but birth defects?? Really?

this is downwinder shit all over again

Funny that in downwinder area they chose Oppenheimer name.
August 14, 2026 at 4:24 PM
Any ammo?
Or just radioactive fallout from 60 years ago...

Can't find the downwinder images...so where are the the LTA heavy lifters.
If Ukraine can use WWI tools why can't we???

Back when legislation actually something our government did, there were even reparations set up by Congress.

Just incredibly ignorant DOGE folks. (But I repeat myself)

I thought it was related to increase radioactive particle uptake like being a downwinder?
Like a radioactive particle being within 5-7 mm of a lung cancer lesion?
