#ClimateChange May Unearth #ColdWar-Era #NuclearWaste Stored by the U.S. in Other Countries

A new report finds that melting ice and rising sea levels could disturb #RadioactiveContamination left over from American nuclear tests after World War II

"Rising global temperatures could unearth Cold War-era nuclear waste created by the United States and stored in other countries, posing potential issues for the environment and local inhabitants, according to a new report.

"An assessment conducted by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) released earlier this year examined nuclear waste in the #MarshallIslands, #Greenland and #Spain, three locations with radioactive contamination resulting from American nuclear activity in the decades following World War II. Climate change could cause this nuclear waste to enter the environment, as warming temperatures melt ice sheets that contain radioactive liquid and raise sea levels that could pollute food and water sources with toxic waste, per the study.

"This lingering contamination came from nuclear weapon detonations, including #HydrogenBombs, and accidents at numerous sites around the world. Often, the U.S. government stored this waste near the sites of detonation, Robert Hayes, a nuclear engineer at North Carolina State University, says to Julia Jacobo of ABC News. In Greenland, officials disposed of nuclear waste in the ice sheet, and in the Marshall Islands, they placed it in a container with a concrete cap.

" 'The military was in the rush of the Cold War,' Hayes tells the publication. 'In hindsight, they could have done a better job.' "

2025 #UraniumFilmFestival - Greetings from #Mururoa (#BonsBaisersDeMoruroa)

France, 2016, Director Larbi Benchiha, production: Aligal production and France Télévisions, documentary, French, English subtitles, 52 min.

"Excellent documentary about #France's #AtomicBomb tests in the #SouthPacific at the #MururoaAtoll. The filmmaker allows the surviving atomic tests veterans to speak up. They unknowingly irradiated themselves and their families.

" 'My biggest regret is to have contaminated my daughters, and may be my grandchildren', says atomic bomb veteran Florence Bourel. She had stayed several times at the atomic bases of Moruroa. Her daughter Marion, 22 years, it suffers from several #radiation-induced diseases and #cancer. Like her mother, she is also afraid of the future: '... and if I have children, will they be healthy'“ Florence was proud to work for the good of France. There, in the blue lagoon where the bombs exploded, she was diving and water skiing. 'The hierarchy has never mentioned any risks. They only said we should not eat fish from the lagoon and wipe with a sarong and not a towel.' "

"Dans le documentaire « Bons baisers de Moruroa » diffusé lundi 15 février après le Soir 3, Larbi Benchiha, le réalisateur, aborde le problème des conséquences transgénérationnelles des irradiations des essais nucléaires pratiqués sur l'atoll entre 1966 et 1996."

2025 #UraniumFilmFestival - #BobbyBrownHomelands - Living with the Legacy of #British #NuclearTesting

#Australia, 2015, Produced and Directed by Kim Mavromatis and Quenten Agius, MAV Media in Association with NITV (National Indigenous TV Australia). Documentary, 5 min

"In the 1950’s and 1960’s the Australian government authorised British Nuclear testing at #EmuField and #Maralinga in Outback South Australia. We journey with #Antikirrinya Elder, #IngkamaBobbyBrown to his homelands in outback #SouthAustralia where he explains the legacy of living with British Nuclear testing - how he witnessed the first tests on the Australian mainland at Emu Field (1953) and experienced the devastating affects of radioactive fallout on his family, people and country. This is the first time Bobby has spoken out about what he witnessed when he was a boy - what happened to his family and country and the people who went missing - during British Nuclear testing.

"Dedicated to Bobby Brown - keeping his connection to country and story alive”.

" 'Happy to have the film screen at the Uranium Film Fest, Las Vegas Nevada. An appropriate place for Bobby’s film to be screened. Bobby would have loved that - he passed away in 2023.' Kim Mavromatis.
