Historian Dr Jon Hogg and investigative reporter Susie Boniface introduce their ground-breaking research project at the Centre for People’s Justice at the University of Liverpool. After 70 years of fighting for the truth about their exposure to radiation at Britain’s nuclear weapons tests, veterans and families were resigned to injustice. After Susie uncovered a secret blood testing programme, hidden being national security at the Atomic Weapons Establishment, she was able to force the declassification of 28,000 top secret records. But getting to the bottom of the Nuked Blood Scandal was an impossible task, which is where the Arts and Humanities Research Council, and the university, stepped in. With funding and a team of volunteer students they are now starting to uncover the truth. Susie recalls the moment when the scandal unfolded, and they discuss how the project works with students Elliot Stephenson and Sarah-Jayne Stroud.
