Radionucelides may even be leaking into the Pacific from these tests and will if the atoll collapses. They also totally disrupted the way the people lived, drawing them to Tahiti and the Mururoa Atoll for a wage economy. Now many of them live in slums on Tahiti. We can only hope the French don't want to modernize their weaponry and decide to conduct nuclear testing there again. Mahalo nui loa for the pictures. They are marvelous, Sincerely, Cuisson
