I am a survivor of the 2nd World War nuclear testing at Hanford Washington as a 5yr old. The country I was born in informed me of my exposure to radiation 60 years after the exposure because a reporter investigated 60 plus years after radiation release into the air and water into nearby communities. I made it lucky only my thyroid was half lost others had more severe exposures. Is Trump going to repeat this evil?
