Description
Following the spike of above ground nuclear testing in the 50s, carbon dating has become very difficult to perform and most scientists have started to move to other dating methods if they wished to date anything from the 50s to the this day. We look at how the fission products Carbon-14 and Cesium-137 have affected our environment and why it is important to ratify CTBT to prevent damage like this.
Promotional text
We examine how nuclear testing has permanently affected how we study our past.
