Using the tragic 1954 Castle Bravo test as a turning point, we analyze how radioactive fallout was tracked in secret while the victims were told the 'snow' falling on them was harmless. It is time to move past the cinematic myths of the mushroom cloud and confront the 'nuclear mundane': the quiet, ongoing reality of a world where the isotopes of the Cold War are still part of our environment and our biology.

By unpacking a massive archive of declassified memos and epidemiological research, we challenge the 'nuclear sublime'—the Hollywood myth of the mushroom cloud—and confront the 'nuclear mundane': the everyday physical reality of millions of people who became the Global Hibakusha.

Global hibakusha
Who are the “global hibakusha”? As many of us know, hibakusha is the Japanese word used to refer to those who survived the two nuclear attacks conducted by the United States against the people living in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Those attacks killed between 100,000 and 200,000 human beings instantly, and wounded as many.
