> I have plenty of relatives and non related friends in Hanford WA that grew up downwind of the nuclear plant at that time with weird rare blood disorders and other random issues. Lots of clotting related issues, some cancers, skin issues, early onset neurological issues. They mostly all lived until very old ages anyways, probably because they're farmers that only eat what they grow or slaughter. The surviving ones who were alive during that time are heartily healthy people to this day. But something was going on in that population, it was pretty clear looking at them as a group and hearing them discuss their rare diseases.
