Two Men Developed Blood Cancer After A Bomb Test
ATLANTA UPI At least two men exposed to an Army atom bomb test at Yucca Flats Nevada nearly 20 years ago have developed cancer of the blood. Dr Glyn Caldwell of the CDC notes the cases probe whether these are delayed responses to low level radiation. The first clue came from Paul Cooper, 43, a Salt Lake City veteran with acute myelogenous leukemia who could die at any time.
