about

The USA and it's allies have a long and painful legacy of destruction in the Pacific region due to their program of nuclear testing. These tests displaced an incomprehensible number of people who have never been able to return to their homes. The human cost of this activity has never been fully calculated, and nothing approaching fair compensation or penalties has ever been paid.




"From 1946 to 1996, the US, UK and France detonated 318 nuclear devices in the Pacific region in the Marshall Islands, French Polynesia/Te Ao Maohi, Kiribati, Australia, the US territory of Johnston/Kalama Atoll and Amchitka Island, Alaska. Fallout was dispersed throughout the region and detected in the Cook Islands, New Zealand, Niue, Fiji, Tokelau, Samoa, Tonga and Tuvalu.

In addition to nuclear detonations, the UK conducted some 600 dangerous “minor trials” in Australia, and the US tested chemical weapons, explosives and ballistic missiles in the Marshall Islands. This has left a devastating legacy of sickness, anxiety, displacement, radiation and environmental damage. The humanitarian impact extends beyond the communities most affected to the thousands of military and civilian personnel – from the USA, France, UK, Fiji, Australia and New Zealand/Aotearoa – who participated in the tests and suffered from exposure to radiation."
