Whydoesn’t the AEC remove the radiation from the soil and plants?
It is impossible to do so and since the radiation is so small, there is no reason to
do this.
Whydidn’t the U.S. explain to the people the dangers of the fallout before the test?
The people were not warned of the dangersof the fallout because the likelihood
that fallout would occur outside the restricted area was considered too remote to
justify warning the pcople. The occurrence of fallout in an unrestricted area after
the Bravo Test wasthe first accidental event of this kind to happen after a nuclear
weapontest.
