Antone Brooks grew up close enough to Nevada Test Site nuclear detonations to see
the sky light up, feel the shockwaves, and be exposed to radioactive fallout. His
long scientific career--from early days trekking into the Uinta Mountains to hunt
contaminated deer for tissue samples, to thousands of hours devoted to careful microscope
work on chromosomal aberrations in animal studies--has been an increasingly sophisticated
search for answers to questions these fallout exposures raised. How dangerous were
they? Could they produce cancer? How afraid of low dose radiation should people be?
