A series of nuclear weapons tests took place in the 50s – the first was Operation Hurricane on 3 October 1952
The daughter of a man who witnessed a British nuclear test in the 1950s has demanded a “Hillsborough-level” apology 70 years after the first detonation.
Elin Doyle said her father Mike Doyle and many others had not seen justice.
Her father suffered ill-health, as did her sibling, which they blamed on the tests, she said. The government said the veterans helped keep Britain safe.
