    There was an interesting documentary about the rise in cancer deaths
    among movie actors and personnel who worked on a couple of movies
    filmed around the same time we were doing atomic testing in the US southwest.

    I see the old, declassified footage of some of those tests and often wonder what affect those tests had on the ecosystems that might still exist today.

    Probably less than you might expect if Chernobyl is anything to go by. The biggest issue seems to be when they are disturbed. Chernobyl's bushfires
    being a case in point. Mind you I don't think I'd want to be anywhere near Bikini Atoll in the next ermmmm thousand years.

    I like to view Chernobyl as a physics-enforced human-exclusion zone.

    It's interesting that, while undoubtedly cancer rates are higher for animals
    in the zone, it's pretty diverse on species and whatnot.
