A fact from Yucca Flat appeared on Misplaced Pages's Main Page in the Did you know column on 12 July 2008 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Overall, tests numbered 928, with 62 tests being simultaneous, bringing the total number of nuclear detonations at the whole test site to 1,021. 69.236.143.147 (talk) 05:01, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
Baneberry lawsuits.
> Two US Federal court cases resulted from the Baneberry event. Two NTS workers who were exposed to high levels of radiation from Baneberry died in 1974, both from acute myeloid leukemia. The district court found that although the Government had acted negligently, the radiation from the Baneberry test did not cause the leukemia cases. The district decision was upheld on appeal in 1996.
The article could care to explain why the feds opposed the lawsuits? Paying out a few million US compensation to the two families is pocket change compared to the billions that nuke weapon programs cost. In contrast, who would ever go to work for NTS after those lawsuits were well-publicized and showed Uncle Sam is willing to show the middle finger to the victims of its own negligence? This doesn't appear to make much sense logically? 82.131.155.42 (talk) 11:28, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
