Downwinders United http://web.mac.com/marydickson/Downwinders_United/Photos.html Below are photographs of underground tests at the Nevada Test Site that leaked significantly, with fallout tracked across the country. Below you also will see trajectory maps from the National Cancer Institute website. The first two maps show where fallout from 100 atmospheric tests (1951-62) at the Nevada Test Site went across the U.S. Through 1992 828 underground tests were conducted at the NTS. Areas of Continental U.S. crossed by 3 or more nuclear clouds, 1951-62. Reprinted with permission of Richard L.
