The United States conducted many nuclear tests in the 1950s and 1960s. Recently, it was discovered that the legacy of these tests can remain for decades in American honey, according to a report.
After World War II, the United States and other countries, including China and the former Soviet Union, performed hundreds of aboveground nuclear tests. These bombs ejected a chemical element called radiocesium (a radioactive form of the element cesium) into the atmosphere.
