An acquaintance was a missionary in the Marshall Islands when she was a teenager. She always wondered about what long-term effects that might have on her health, and she was only there for a year (unlike the Marshallese.)
I knew a fellow who was a Naval Corpsman at Bikini, sailors were sent in to “decontaminate” targetted ships after the test. They were given mops & buckets.
“Yup! It’s radioactive alright!”
