UK nuclear test veterans have filed a legal claim against the Ministry of Defence (MoD) over withheld medical records from nuclear tests between 1952 and 1967. Veterans and next-of-kin allege radiation exposure during these tests and seek compensation. The veterans have proposed a special tribunal to resolve their claims and access missing military medical records. The MoD states that no information is withheld from veterans, and their medical records can be accessed on request.
