My dad was 10 miles away from the explosion at Bikini Atoll. He was on a ship. I wish I had spoken to him more about it. He just did not want to talk about his work on the Manhattan Project or as a civilian at Bikini Atoll. I did find out he measured radiation levels on the Atol 24 hours after the explosion. He did not get cancer and lived a healthy life to 82 years old. Many of the people he was with did get cancer at a relatively young age.
