Is this ground still "hot"? Just curious.
It was hot enough to kill more than half of the cast of "The Conqueror" some soon and some later. Best known cast member was John Wayne. He played Genghis Khan in that movie. Film was made several years after the tests and they breathed the dust from the horse scenes. exanimo, siegfried schlagrule
I might add that Howard Hughes, who produced, the aforementioned film hauled 60 tons of radioactive dirt from the films location (Snow Canyon near Saint George Utah) taking it to Hollywood so some scenes for the movie could be shot on a sound stage. I wonder what happened to that dirt?
Maybe thats why some of the actors in Hollyweird are well........................weird.
On a lighter note, I remember being told to hide under my school desk, for protection, if the Russian's launched a nuke attack against us.
People were so naive in those days.
