The Forgotten Nuclear Victims
From 1950 to 1990, France, the United-States and the United Kingdom dropped hundreds of nuclear bombs on the Pacific islands. Populations were evacuated, diseases and malformations appeared: the collateral damage of nuclear testing is immutable. For a long time, the French State denied the impact of the bomb on these populations before finally setting up a compensation process for veterans. These compensations are uncertain and frequently curbed by a complex system. How can these pathologies, that now affect the descendants, be recognized? When will the effects of the bombing stop? What is the future for the new generations? Are the major nuclear countries ready to pay? Driven by their conviction and helped by political and scientific personalities, children and grandchildren of the atom bomb respond against these great nations.
