Having grown up in the 50s/60s or atmosphere was full of nuclear weapons tests.
Over 2 thousand at least.
These all were bigger than Japans two, many were in the megaton range instead of kiloton. Noone suffered radiation death.
Media has blown this way out of line. Bleeds it leads syndrome.
You said it. I came onboard in ‘54..

I'm LMAO at all the wussies! I remember the media tracking really hot radiation from Russian bomb tests that dumped strontium 90 on American crops. And our own tests in Nevada pumped very large amounts of dangerous radiation into the atmosphere. The Japanese event, so far, doesn't even come close to those days. There's a whole lot of unjustified fear-mongering going on.
