That answers one of the two things I've always wondered about these tests from the 50s and 60s. The other is how the radiation released from the bombs hasn't affected anyone over the following years? I mean, Nevada isn't exactly the south pole. Even back in the 50s there must have been 10s of millions of people within a few hundred miles of the desert. In the news lately we've heard about slight increases in radiation in Hawaii, even on the west coast of North America, from Fukushima. Surely wind would've blown really dangerous amounts of radiation from the Nevada desert into populated areas, no?
