September 27, 2006 marked the 50th anniversary of the first of the British nuclear bomb tests at Maralinga. Many army personal were intentionally exposed to high levels of radiation. Many Aboriginal people in the area were not notified of the tests. Some became sick and died. Army veterans and Aboriginal people have developed cancers and other long term health problems as a result of radiation exposure. Large areas of land around the testing sites remain contaminated with radioactive materials; 400 sq kms remain uninhabitable.
