I didn't know that. It looks like the
inhabitants of Las Vegas and Nevada should
be much more affected by radiation than
those of Los Alamos and New Mexico. Probably
the drug wars in Juarez are a more severe
threat today.
Nevada, this is where the famous Area 51
is located, right? I guess the secret bomb
and flight testings in Nevada were partly
responsible for the myth of Area 51?

I wonder why no secret city in the
Sovjetunion became a myth, although
they are named similarily: Semipalatinsk-21,
Krasnoyarsk-26, or Sverdlovsk-44

Subject: Re: [FRIAM] Semipalatinsk and Los Alamos
[..] only one weapon was ever detonated in New Mexico,
in 1945. Many more were tested in Nevada in the 1950s
and the fallout from those tests did cause cancers, notably
leukemia, most visibly in Utah.
