@kentex35 Bombs have nothing to do with nuclear power.
There have been studies of the long term effect of radiation, both of the American testing in Bikini for example, and the British Testing in Australia. Though the British government has never owned up to the damage it caused to the native people, nor did they care.Whether the Americans did tests after Three Mile Island I do not know, I know they panicked.
Chernobyl remains a partial mystery as it was in the Soviet era.
Radiation passes through the food chain quickly.

@SW-User On March 1, 1954, the United States conducted its largest thermonuclear weapon test in Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands; the detonation was code-named “Castle Bravo.” Radioactive deposits in the ocean sediment at the bomb crater are widespread and high levels of contamination remain today.

@SW-User I just meant contamination wise. It's the dumping and the tests contaminated equally or is one worse than the other as far as the ocean goes
