Re: Compensation of survivors

The cold war atomic workers did not have "experiments performed on them 

without their consent."  Moreover, if you count the cold war years from 1946 

to 1989, knowledge of and attention to occupational hazards of working with 

radioactive and hazardous materials increased dramatically during this 

period.  Any worker who found out or feared that he or she might be in a 

carcinogenic environment could always leave and get another job.  It's a 

whole lot easier to switch jobs than countries!


If it's a duty to die for one's country, isn't it also a duty to work for 

one's country if the country needs it?
