New Zealand Nuclear Veterans

When you realise just how close some of these young men came to clouds of ionising radiation, it’s hard not to imagine some of them had their health affected. Yet to date, the science has been inconclusive, even dismissive.

Have New Zealand scientists finally found the mark of the bomb?
