Peter Susiu has said in his article that after becoming the fifth nuclear power in the world, China conducted the first thermonuclear test in June 1967, only 32 months after the first nuclear test. This nuclear test produced 3.3 megatons of energy. This energy was 200 times more than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
However, the official figures for nuclear tests are scant. Therefore, these effects have not been studied extensively. At the same time, radiation has badly affected the population in Xinjiang region which is home to 20 million people.
A Japanese researcher studying radiation levels in Xinjiang said the amount of radiation in Xinjiang exceeded those measured on the roof of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor in 1986, The National Interest reported. Reports say that radioactive dust has spread across the region, causing thousands of deaths.
