France ‘hid impact’ of French Polynesian nuclear radiation: Report

Al Jazeera, 14 Mar 2021
Pressure is building on France to compensate more people in the South Pacific, who were exposed to radiation from three decades of nuclear tests.
It follows a new report accusing the French government of hiding the extent of nuclear contamination in French Polynesia during French nuclear tests in the Pacific from 1966-1996, with almost the "entire population" of the overseas territory infected.
