ATOMIC VETERANS: OR HOW GIs WERE USED AS GUINEA PIGS IN THE U.S. NUCLEAR EXPERIMENTS - John DeBusk site

Australian Nuclear Veterans Association
This web-page is to create and maintain communication with our counterparts and any interested people wherever they may be around the world that might wish to help us in our struggle for recognition, and Government assistance with the health problems created by our service to country in Nuclear weapons testing in Australia.

British Nuclear Test Veterans Association
The BNTVA is an organisation which deals with all nuclear test veterans and their families.

Canadian Atomic Veterans Association
To find those people who were subject to ionizing radiation, while serving in the Armed Forces, or their dependants.
To exchange information, reference health and well being of those contacted.
To assist those contracted if they require help.
To liaise with Nuclear Veterans in any country that we may contact during our search.

Children of Atomic Veterans
This web-site was set-up originally to search for fellow (Paul Tibbets Group) 509 Bomb Wing nuclear test participants of "IVY".
It then evolved into a "help" site to assist those people, who because of secrecy, know little about the veteran's participation and the resultant medical consequences. Hopefully this site can assist in the reconstruction of those lost years.
Included are sources of information for veterans and survivors in gaining the benefits these veterans earned by virtue of their service to their country.

The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic, mutual-help, war-time veterans organization. A community-service organization which now numbers nearly 3 million members -- men and women -- in nearly 15,000 American Legion Posts worldwide.

Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute AFRRI, a triservice laboratory chartered in 1961, conducts research in the field of radiobiology and related matters essential to the operational and medical support of the U.S. Department of Defense and the military services. The institute collaborates with other governmental facilities, academic institutions, and civilian laboratories in the United States and other countries. Its findings have broad military and civilian applications.

The Atomic Archive This site explores the complex history surrounding the invention of the atomic bomb - a crucial turning point for all mankind. AJ Software & Multimedia presents this site as an online companion to its CD-ROM, Atomic Archive.
Follow a timeline that takes you down the path of our nuclear past, from the 1920s to the present. Read biographies of A-bomb father Robert Oppenheimer and other key scientists of the nuclear age. See the Trinity Test through Enrico Fermi's eye as you read his first hand account of that history making event. Examine maps of the damage to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and summaries of arms-control treaties. You'll also find a gallery of exclusive photographs and animations of nuclear physics

The Bureau of Atomic Tourism is dedicated to the promotion of tourist locations around the world that have either been the site of atomic explosions, display exhibits on the development of atomic devices, or contain vehicles that were designed to deliver atomic weapons.

The National Atomic Museum , soon to be renamed the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History,is located on Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico, approximately six miles from the airport. The National Atomic Museum is the nation's only Congressionally chartered museum of nuclear science and history. The museum was established in 1969 as an intriguing place to learn the story of the Atomic Age, from early research of nuclear development through today's peaceful uses of nuclear technology. In spring of 2009, the new National Museum of Nuclear Science and History will open in Albuquerque, N.M., sharing the story of nuclear science with the public.

The National Veterans Organization of America Inc., a not-for-profit corporation chartered by the State of Delaware. We are dedicated to the preservaton and enhancement of Veterans Benefits.
Basically, we are a group of veterans who are sick and tired of the way that veterans are treated by the US Department of Veterans Affairs. We are tired of of waiting for months or years for our claims to be dealt with by the VA. We are tired of the way the VA continues to deny those claims. We are tired of being butchered by medical residents in the VA Medical Facilities.
We intend to do something about it.

Trinty Atomic Site
On July 16, 1945, at 5:29:45am, the first atomic explosion was detonated at Trinity Site in New Mexico, U.S.A. It came less than 50 years after the discovery of radioactivity in 1896 and brought many threads of physics, technology and politics to a dramatic culmination. The man-made thunder that echoed off the Oscuro Mountains continues to reverbrate through the modern world

US DOE Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments-
The Office of Human Radiation Experiments, established in March 1994, leads the Department of Energy's efforts to tell the agency's Cold War story of radiation research using human subjects. We have undertaken an intensive effort to identify and catalog relevant historical documents from DOE's 3.2 million cubic feet of records scattered across the country. Internet access to these resources is a key part of making DOE more open and responsive to the American public.
