Many have died, but many are still alive and suffering from… Read More »

Save Tahiti Monument to Atomic Test Victims!

June 26, 2014 By Trisha Leave a Comment

Gaston Floss, president of French Polynesia,  plans to destroy the sacred monument to the victims of French nuclear tests known as the “Place du 2 juliet 1966” (located in Papeete, the capital of Tahiti).

Each morning, my Dad carefully arranged the pens in his pocket protector, kissed my Mom and me goodbye, climbed into the bus with the blackened windows, and rode off to Hanford to make atomic bombs.

It killed him. And my Mom. And maybe, eventually me.

The government tried to hide almost a million curies of radioactive iodine and other radiation released from Hanford.
