    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the nuclear explosion code-named Badger at the Nevada Test Site in April 1953, almost a decade after the Trinity test. NCI investigators will sort through reports on radioactive fallout from the test, as well as gather information on the typical lifestyle and diet of Native American, Latino and white populations living in New Mexico. All of this will be done in the hopes of estimating the radiation doses absorbed by local citizens in the Trinity test.
