Last year declassified French defence documents exposed that the islands had been hit with far more radiation than previously supposed. Tahiti - the most populated island - was exposed to 500 times more radiation than recommended.
In 2006 a French medical body found the increase of cancer on the islands were caused by nuclear testing. The French government only acknowledged veterans and survivors in 2010 that they would be legible for compensation - but warned the process would be long and complex thanks to the distribution of the islands.
Environmentally, the islands appear to have been badly affected by the testing. However, for years many scientists and researchers were refused entry to the islands and to this day much of the data on the proliferation of waste remains incomplete or unavailable.
In 1998 one report indicated that more than 3,200 tonnes of various types of radioactive waste had been poured into the Pacific ocean, sinking to depths of 1,000 metres off the coast of Mururoa and Hao island.
おフランスってのは、植民地に謝罪はしないわ、補償はしないわ、原爆実験して環境汚染しても、それで、ガン患者が増えても補償はしないわ・・・・これはポストモダンってやつでございますか？
No apology No compensation to the colonized countries, no compensation for the damages by nuclear tests---Is this "post-modernism" French people are talking about?
