Description:

Native American ranchers and other rural New Mexico residents were among those who saw the flash of the first test of the atomic bomb in 1945. Descendants of the people downwind of the blast say they continue to pay the price with serious health conditions – and tribes also complain leaching from uranium mines to fuel subsequent nuclear reactors pose a daily health threat.
