Like thousands of servicemembers assigned to America's nuclear weapons programs, he contributed to missions critical to national security while working in environments that continue to raise important questions regarding long-term exposure risks.

"As both a journalist and the daughter of a Nuclear Weapons Technician, this issue is deeply personal," said Bjork. "I am grateful to Congressman Takano, Kevin Price, and The Price of Business for creating a platform where these stories can be heard and where veterans and their families can gain greater visibility."

The interview explored issues affecting Atomic Veterans, Nuclear Weapons Technicians, K2 veterans, Downwinders, Pacific Island communities, and others impacted by radiation exposure connected to military service and America's nuclear weapons programs.

A central theme of the discussion was the concern that many veterans exposed to radiation during their service. The conversation highlighted issues involving healthcare access, veterans' benefits, incomplete historical records, and the ongoing effort to better understand the potential multigenerational impacts of radiation exposure on military families.
