What is the EPA's stance on atomic weapon testing?

What I'm trying to say is the treaty ban halted testing back in the 90's but EPA phased out TEL starting in the 70's.

I voted for leaded gasoline because private individuals had control over its use and it was seen as something good.

Unlike cigarettes and maybe asbestos (mines are different problem) there were widespread consequences in the environment.

Nuclear weapons have their reputation because their effects are so readily apparent at higher exposures. Lead-poisoning messes with your mind and influences criminal behavior. There's even a theory that Rome declined because of lead pipes.
