What about atomic veterans in other jurisdictions?

How do fellow contributors feel about expanding the scope of this article to include atomic veterans from other nations? For example: the Australian, New Zealander and UK veterans who supported tests in Australia and at Christmas Island, and the Russian and French servicemen who served in their respective weapons testing programs. In my opinion this article is ripe for expansion. --Danimations (talk) 07:52, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I support this. That was the first thing I thought of when I looked at this article actually. There is no need for this to only focus on America.*Trekker (talk) 11:00, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Here's an article about French atomic veterans who were exposed to radiation while supporting weapons testing in the Pacific. There are plenty more articles on this subject which could be reflected here. http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/international/radio/onairhighlights/nuclear-workers-union-unhappy-with-offer-of-french-compensation --Danimations (talk) 02:01, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What about the compensation initially offered?

Watching the, Smithsonian Channel, and they explained the atomic veterans were given one time payments of 75,000 USD and the citizens in the towns affected by fallout were paid 50,000 USD. According to Smithsonian, about 800 million USD has been paid out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dlm8751 (talk • contribs) 21:47, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
