The French state ignores the cancers and deaths of irradiated nuclear submarine workers of Ile-Longue

The irradiated people of Ile-Longue in the face of the indifference of the state. Until 1996, workers manipulated nuclear warheads on missiles at the Brest submarine base without protection against radioactivity. Today, a group of retirees is fighting so that the early deaths of their colleagues and the serial cancers that affect them are classified as occupational diseases. And that the army admit its “inexcusable fault”.
