Interview with Joyce Eargle, Downwinders of Utah Archive, June 13, 2017

Scope and Contents

Joyce Eargle was born and raised in Cedar City. Her father died of multiple myeloma, a disease which was caused by radiation fallout from tests at the Nevada Test Site. Eargle talks about other family members and friends who were affected by tests, as well as the affect the tests had on livestock and farming in southern Utah. She does not believe the Government has done enough to make amends for the consequences of the nuclear testing done in the Southwest.
