One would be Karaul. It was partially evacuated but a group of locals was designated as group of Guinea pigs for testing. And remember, this dust traveled for many miles. This is the Steppe, so dust gets picked up and travels with little vegetation impeding it.

With all due respect, I think you should read more about this instead of acting like I’m spouting nonsense, when you clearly know little about this topic. I have been to Semipalatinsk and seen their exhibit on victims to nuclear testing and I’ve read the literature.

this one was close to 200km south from test site, like I said, everything inside and out of the polygon was moved. Semipalatinsk was something like 150km east. It was and is zero-populated area.

At 200km distance test WHAT EXACTLY? You are repeating stories which were and are pure garbage
