<p>WASHINGTON — Radioactive fallout from Cold War nuclear weapons tests across the globe probably caused at least 15,000 cancer deaths in U.S. residents born after 1951, according to data from an unreleased federal study. The study, coupled with findings from previous government investigations, suggests that 20,000 non-fatal cancers — and possibly many more — also can be tied to fallout from aboveground weapons tests. The study shows that far more fallout than previously known reached the USA from nuclear tests in the former Soviet Union and on several Pacific islands used for U.S. and British exercises. It also finds that fallout from scores of U.S. trials at the Nevada Test Site spread substantial amounts of radioactivity across broad swaths of the country. When fallout from all tests, domestic and foreign, is taken together, no U.S. resident born after 1951 escaped exposure, the study says.</p>

Radiation Fears, Hong Kong Shoppers Stock up on Japanese Milk Powder 2011-03-16 13:16 Japan’s escalating nuclear crisis is causing alarms in neighboring countries. On Tuesday, hundreds of Hong Kong residents waited in line for hours to buy baby formula imported from Japan.

Hong Kong police were brought in to control parents and grandparents queuing outside a specialty shop. Once the store opened, shoppers were limited to one carton of milk powder per person. [Ray Chueng, Hong Kong Resident]: “If I don't buy it now,...

To cope with the possibility that terrorists might someday detonate a nuclear bomb on American soil, the federal government is reviving a scientific art that was lost after the cold war: fallout analysis. The goal, officials and weapons experts both inside and outside the government say, is to figure out quickly who exploded such a bomb and where the nuclear material came from. That would clarify the options for striking back. Officials also hope that if terrorists know a bomb can be traced, they will be less likely to try to use one.In a secretive effort that began five years...

It might not have been a "broken arrow" nuclear missile accident, but a mishap that damaged a Bangor Trident submarine ballistic missile and was kept under wraps by the Navy until this week threatens broken trust on an international scale.Libby Davies, a member of Canada's national parliament from Vancouver East, yesterday said she intends to seek the same kind of answers for Canadians that her U.S. congressional counterparts are seeking for Americans."If something happens in Bangor, we're the ones upwind. Nuclear fallout knows no border," Davies said."The whole issue of transparency in government is fundamental to our democratic system. I...
