How Kodak detected the events of atomic bomb tests in their medical X-Ray films because of fallout. (rain and/wind carrying radioactive particles falling down on the ground)
The photographic companies and the US government made a deal that they would not to tell the public/populace/world/Soviet-Union (aka: cover up possible exposure) of these atomic bomb tests, and in return the US government would provide them maps and warnings so they could react in time to protect their vulnerable films/products from exposure to radioactive particles.
The argument for why they didn't provide maps or warnings to farmers, other companies or vulnerable citizens in the possible fallout areas is that the US government and the scientists didn't fully know or understand the harmful effects on health, or so they say. To keep the existence of atomic bombs secret.
Or one might also say differently that military defence / homeland security and financial gain is more important to the government (and the involved companies) than the health of citizens.
