Consequences of Radiation Exposure (CORE)

In 2015, Trisha Pritikin co-founded Consequences of Radiation Exposure Museum and Archives (CORE), a Washington State nonprofit, to raise awareness of and advocate for populations exposed to environmental ionizing radiation. CORE’s primary mission is to advance and disseminate understanding of the human toll of exposure to ionizing radiation from uranium mining, milling, or transport; nuclear weapons production, testing or deployment in warfare; nuclear reactor offsite releases and related radiation exposures. Today, CORE’s work focuses on ensuring civilian downwind populations are represented in policy matters pertaining to the human toll of nuclear weapons production and testing activities. CORE hopes to eventually found a museum and archives dedicated to downwinders globally.
