• Nuclear veterans win right to sue - with a VIDEO
  "Ex-servicemen who took part in nuclear tests in the 1950s have won the right to sue the government for compensation.
  More than 1,000 men say they and their families have suffered ill-health following the nuclear tests conducted in the South Pacific...
  The men want compensation for illnesses, including cancer, skin defects and fertility problems which they claim are the result of exposure to radiation
  during nuclear bomb testing."

During a nuclear incident, it is important to avoid radioactive material, if possible. While experts may predict at this time that a nuclear attack is less likely than other types, terrorism by its nature is unpredictable..."
