The remnants of nuclear testing are not just long-lasting, but also encompassing of so many different elements. From the environmental to the ecological, and to the human impact of nuclear testing, the effects continue to ripple long after testing takes place. Between contamination (radioactive and otherwise), health issues, pollution of food and water, structural damage, and more, the consequences of nuclear testing can affect generations.
Yet, scientists have also found a way to exploit some of the consequences of nuclear testing to advance science. Curious to know more? Click through the gallery to understand the true impact.
