ACCESS. ACTION. AMBASSADORS.

Genetic damage in offspring due to radiation exposure is well known, but not well documented for our generation to access.
The medical impacts are important to track for this and future generations. We’ve watched our parents suffer the consequences, our children, for those able to bear children, and many now, their grand-children. Managing various health complications without access to critical information is an impact that most know nothing about. It became clear during my journey that there exists a need for medical information and resources become less burdensome.

Critical information is required for these victims to pursue proper medical care. Due to the levels of secrecy their countries may have imposed, information is either restricted, classified by various departments of various governments.

Children of Atomic Veterans does not conduct studies or research. We are not taking political positions. We recognize identified subgroups and are simply building bridges to inform, and provide a vehicle for those of us impacted to make ourselves available for research, for current and future generations. As we begin our first steps out of the shadows, so does our need to understand the long-term physical impacts to ourselves and our families.

Building Bridges for Genetic Research & Understanding Outcomes.  The “Projects” we support are designed to help not only Atomic Veterans and their families, they can go a long way to advance the genetic understandings impacting nuclear energy workers and iR casualties worldwide.
