UK Defence Secretary John Healey has initiated an investigation into missing records regarding the health of military personnel who observed nuclear tests in the 1950s. Amid concerns raised by surviving veterans and a recent BBC documentary that suggested a cover-up of the tests’ health impacts, Healey assured MPs of a thorough search for documents. Veterans allege that many have suffered from severe health issues linked to radioactive fallout, a claim also echoed by indigenous communities in Australia. The investigation faces challenges, as many records may be lost.
