France has underestimated impact of nuclear tests in French Polynesia, research finds | French Polynesia | The Guardian

A nuclear bomb is detonated at the Mururoa atoll, French Polynesia in 1971 The unpublished report, France’s first official recognition of the health impact of the tests, says the location of the cluster, “focused on the islands where the fallout was heaviest … leaves little doubt about the role of ionising radiation” in the cancers.

Thyroid, throat and lung cancers, as well as cases of leukaemia and lymphoma and bone and muscle conditions linked to strontium and caesium poisoning, remain prevalent across the islands, the researchers say, citing interviews with multiple inhabitants, many of whom were children at the times of the tests.

The researchers also cite a confidential exchange of emails dating from 2017 in which the French army acknowledges, reportedly for the first time, that as many as 2,000 of the 6,000 military personnel based in French Polynesia and involved in the tests between 1966 and 1974 have since contracted at least one form of cancer.

Ruby Boye

MRS. RUBY BOYE lived with her husband, Mr. Skov Boye, at Vanikoro, a small tropical island in the Santa Cruz group of the then British Solomon Islands

Soon after the commencement of World War 2, the Australian Navy installed a powerful AWA tele-radio for communication between Vanikoro and Tulagi. The radio was operated by a qualified telegraphist on the island.

The Vanikoro radio operator wished to return to Australia to join the RAAF.  Before departing, he taught Ruby how to transmit weather reports and operate the radio in code, and during the following months she learned Morse Code from a book.  Eric Feldt, the Commander in Charge of the Coastwatcher movement,  appointed Mr. and Mrs. Boye as members of his organization.
