Nuclear testing during the 1970s is thought to be primarily responsible.

Despite the risk, a 1975 report from the US Energy Research and Development Administration allegedly concluded that it would be "against the national interest" to put a stop to the work being conducted at the site.

Compounding the frustration of those impacted by radiation exposure at the site, the US Department of Veterans Affairs is reportedly declining to provide medical coverage.This is because - owing to the classified nature of the operations conducted there - all relevant official records remain restricted and sufficient evidence of exposure cannot be provided.

David Crete, a former Air Force Sergeant who worked at the site in the 1980s, maintains that over 490 of his colleagues have since died and that he, too, is suffering from various health complications.

Even today, much of what these men did at the site remains classified.

"It's just a matter of betrayal," veteran Mike Nemcic told News Nation.

"These folks knew, and they purposefully kept it quiet because it was more beneficial to them not to tell us."
