Resumen de France keeps its atomic secrets
Over 30 years on, secrecy orders imposed by the French government still make it impossible to find out how the radioactive fallout from the tests has affected people in Moruroa and Fangatuafa, a place where France detonated 41 nuclear weapons between 1966 and 1974. France has long denied that the tests caused significant fallout or contamination, or that they could be the cause of certain cancer in French Polynesia since the tests, including thyroid cancer. However, more than 4,200 former test-site workers are campaigning for compensation for health problems they claim result from radiation exposure. Other details are presented.
