Open border crossing to the Polygon formerly restricted entry

It would be interesting to compare the SNTS history and perceptions with those living near Nevada s test sites and to compare the information provided in regional newspapers in Nevada. See, for example, Hacker (1994) Johnston (1994) Weart (1995) U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment (1989) National Cancer Institute (1997) Schwartz (1998) and Welsome (1999). Would there be similarities in the perceptions of risks by residents, physicians, and scientists And how are the environmental and social histories of the nuclear era being constructed and reconstructed (see Dalton et al., 1999). 

Acknowledgements I want to thank my wife, Natalya Tyutenkova, who kindly assisted in translating the headlines from the local newspapers reported above about the lead stories on days of nuclear testing. I am grateful to the librarians at Semey Public Library and also all students, faculty, and public officials in Semipalatinsk who shared with me their stories about the impact the years of testing had and has on their own health and others close to them.
