In 1953, Britain detonated two atomic weapons in the Outback of South Australia. The purpose was to test how much plutonium was too much for the bomb to work properly. But after one blast an oily black mist was seen rolling across the landscape, covering Aboriginal camps with greasy ash, poisoning waterholes, and killing the wildlife. In the wake of it, Yami Lester went blind. Decades later he heard a scientist insist reports of a "black mist" were a myth, and Yami's testimony blew open the nuclear testing scandal. His daughter Karina joins Prof Liz Tynan to unpick newly-declassified documents that prove Totem was more toxic than Hiroshima.
