Maralinga Nuclear Testing: Impact on Aboriginal People

advertisement
Describe the consequences of nuclear testing for Aboriginal people living at
Maralinga.
P - Nuclear Testing at Maralinga by the British led to the forced removal of the
Aboriginal people due to nuclear fallout.
E- The national museum website states that one man was personally responsible for
the warning and removal of inhabitants.
E- They needed to be removed because of the impact of nuclear fallout and were
unaware of the dangers and little consideration was given to the housing and cultural
impact as a result of the removal as well as those caught in the blast area.
L - As not all were removed many who remained in the area suffered significant
health problems.
