The entire world has been exposed way beyond our limits to radioactivity by the sheer amount of bomb tests alone, including the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and it suggests to me that this is a major catalyst for cancers. Not a test, but an accident like the one at Chernobyl is a big cause for a diversity of cancers in Europe, I think. And that's just one case.
Of course the effects of nuclear testing are not studied (and published) well enough on a global scale, but I can imagine it is far worse than propagated by the governments who conducted them.
