Arthur Tamplin testified in U S District Court that government data on radiation from 1950s and 1960s atmospheric nuclear tests is limited. He said no records truly show fallout levels at southern Utah residents, and monitoring was disorganized leaving people unaware of the danger. The trial weighs whether fallout from tests caused harm or death.

Radiation exposure in Utah area after 1957 tests and data gaps
Tamplin, ex director at Lawrence Livermore, testified that radiation monitors were poorly trained and often underreported by 25 percent. His 1966 study found thyroid radiation in St George schoolchildren up to 30 times safe limits, tied to contaminated milk and vegetables. He estimates residents near the Harry test received about six rads versus 3.9 rads safe for monitors.
