Excellent graph from @armscontrolnow.bsky.social illustrates relatively small cost of expanding #RECA given overall cost of US #nuclear weapons. Justice demands such compensation to innocent people exposed to radioactive fallout. #House must pass before June 7.

79 years ago Hanford's T Plant began secretly releasing radioactive iodine. The radiation was ingested by cows and unsuspecting children drank the milk. Those poisoned didn't find out until it was too late.
