Despite the advances in developing nuclear weapons and other technologies, not much is known about the long-term effects of radiation on human health. In a world where nuclear energy could help curb carbon emissions, it almost seems paradoxical that its possible long-term risks and impacts to human health are still poorly understood. While researchers have investigated the effects of acute radiation in the aftermath of nuclear incidents such as Chernobyl, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Fukushima, more needs to be done to understand the impacts of long-term and low-dose nuclear radiation. Studying the downwinders from the Nevada Test Site could offer one window to investigate those myriad effects.

尽管在开发核武器和其他技术方面取得了进展，但人们对辐射对人类健康的长期影响知之甚少。在一个核能可以帮助遏制碳排放的世界里，人们对其可能的长期风险和对人类健康的影响仍然知之甚少，这几乎是自相矛盾的。虽然研究人员已经调查了切尔诺贝利、广岛、长崎和福岛等核事故后急性辐射的影响，但还需要做更多的工作来了解长期和低剂量核辐射的影响。研究内华达试验场的下风带可以为研究这些无数影响提供一个窗口。
