The American public was dosed — without consent.
Between 1951 and 1962, the U.S. government detonated more than 100 nuclear bombs in the open air — at the Nevada Test Site and elsewhere — releasing radioactive fallout into skies that didn’t respect state lines, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Cancer Institute.
Among the most dangerous byproducts was iodine-131 (I-131), a radioactive isotope that seeks out and embeds itself in the human thyroid gland, particularly in children.
