Not-so-secret atomic tests: Why the photographic film industry knew what the American public didn’t



http://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2013/02/26/not-so-secret-atomic-bomb-tests-why-the-photographic-film-industry-knew

     This is a very interesting article that will surprise no one...our government is totally willing to expose its citizens to dangerous substances.  This article is about the fallout from nuclear testing.  The government let the film industry know about high radioactive fallout, but no one else.
     There is an atomic fallout exposure map at the end of the article.  North-east Nebraska, where I grew up, is in a high exposure area.

(Thank you Ben for bringing this article to my attention)
