Guam residents inch closer to compensation for US nuclear testing
By Marian Faa, 11 Sept 23, https://www.abc.net.au/pacific/programs/pacificbeat/guam-nuclear-compensation-us-government-testing/102838844
Guam residents are one step closer to being eligible for compensation from the US government if they’ve suffered exposure to nuclear testing.
The US Senate recently endorsed a major expansion to the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act, which would include Guam and New Mexico.
President of the Pacific Association for Radiation Survivors, Robert Celestial, has spent years lobbying for compensation to include Guam.
His campaign started when he was researching de-classified US documents to understand his own exposure to radiation as an army veteran who worked in the Marshall Islands.
