There must be many victims.

I remember when I worked at the VA many years ago, I'd hear people talking about the "nuclear veterans" but it was a specialty group at the Board in DC that my section didn't work on. I had to work on the new specialties for service connection for "agent orange," and PTSD, so I never learned about it. I wish I knew more about it, but on the other hand, in the back of my mind after I got off active duty I didn't want to know any more about it.

I hope you found out what you needed to know.
