Tell that to my buddy's dad who died from the nuclear radiation from the blasts(plural) he watched from a wooden shed 2 miles form blast zone. He was the low man on totem pole along with another private. They ran cables 2 miles all the way to the bombs. His files were/are sealed and they never let the family know anything. Nary a peep. We basically watched him deteriorate before our eyes in the early 70s. Died of multiple organ destruction.

He found out some facts from his uncle who did a deathbed confession.
