UK Probes 'Lost' Nuclear Test Records

🇬🇧 Defence Secretary Investigates ‘Missing’ Nuclear Test Records Defence Secretary John Healey has pledged a thorough investigation into claims of long-lost or hidden records regarding the health of military personnel involved in 1950s nuclear tests. This comes after allegations of a decades-long cover-up, highlighted in a recent BBC documentary. Healey assured MPs that “nothing is being withheld” and promised to disclose all available records. Survivors, now in their 80s, have long reported illnesses and genetic defects, potentially linked to radioactive fallout. Campaigners have welcomed this step, calling it a "brilliant" move toward long-awaited answers. The investigation aims to bring transparency, though Healey acknowledged it might be challenging due to potentially lost archives. INSIDER | UK
