I don;t know where to put this, but think it deserves its own thread
From beginning to end this is an utter disgrace and an appalling story. From the nuclear testing itself to the dumping of the highly radioactive waste to the abdication of responsibility. I guess these kind of things shouldn't continue to shock me, but they still do. I'm sickened just from reading this
(Just to give you a taster:
“Data of this type [the effects of radiation on people] has never been available,” Merrill Eisenbud, a U.S official with the Atomic Energy Commission, said at a January 1956 meeting of the agency’s Biology and Medicine Committee. “While it is true that these people do not live the way that Westerners do, civilized people, it is nonetheless also true that they are more like us than the mice.” )
