and fallout from:
2. Pacific nuclear testing
3. the Nevada Test Site
4. High-altitude nuclear tests 
5. Project Rulison
6. Mighty Oak nuclear test
7. North Korea's nuclear tests

10. Trinity, WSMR & Steel

11. Hanford & INL & LANL
12. Nuclear Power
13. DTRA's Divine Strake's babies 
14. Fallout resuspension: Milford Flat Fire 
15. Australia's fallout and duststorms
16. Hiroshima & Nagasaki
-and-
17. Low-level radiation impacted viruses
18. Radioactivity in drywall (dust)

 Idealist's 'Believe it or not' Radiation Events in History
 

  1. Fernald School boys ate radioactive breakfast cereal [see below]

  2. Nuclear-powered satellites are orbiting above [link]

  3. Plutonium dispersal experiments in Nevada dumped on Utah [link]

  4. INL's deceased nuke workers were buried in lead caskets [link]

  5. 'the only victims of U.S. nuclear arms since [WWII] have been our own people' [link]

  6. Terrorists can deploy a dirty bomb over western Wyoming without any detection [link]

  7. Western wildfires have resuspended Cold War radioactivity [link]

  8. Nearly all Americans have radioactive fallout in their organs and tissues [link]

  9. A 'rainout' in the 1950s caused Albany to become as 'hot' as the NTS [link]

  10. Cleanup of NTS underground areas would cost $7.3 trillion (in 1990s dollars) [link]

NTS = Nevada Test Site

Fernald School boys - During the 1940s and 1950s, schoolboys classified as mentally retarded and wards of State at the Fernald State School in Waltham, Massachusetts, were fed cereal spiked with radioactive calcium and iron.  They were instructed to eat all of the cereal and drink all the milk from their bowls. The parents of the boys were deceived, when they gave their consent, about the nature of the experiments, which were funded by the Atomic Energy Commission (predecessor to the Department of Energy), the NIH and the Quaker Oats Company and research was conducted by faculty members of MIT and Harvard.

U.S. NUCLEAR tests: 128 A + 899 U in NV,
1 A in NM, 10 U (in NM, CO, AK, MS, central NV),
100+ A, U in Pacific, 3 A in S. Atlantic
(A=aboveground; U=Underground)


'The greatest irony of our atmospheric nuclear testing program is that 
 the only victims of U.S. nuclear arms since World War II have been our own people.' 
- Forgotten Guinea Pigs Report, 1980

In 1986, the U.S. Dept. of Energy used the cover of the Chernobyl fallout cloud over the United States to release huge amounts of radiation into the air from a failed underground Nevada nuclear test. It was called Mighty Oak.

Did global fallout cause massive mutations that may explain disorders like autism?
