Apparently after the Palomares incident in Spain in 1966, every farmer in a 100 km radius banged in a claim for "contaminated" milk, hens not laying, etc etc. Although most of these were spurious I believe the US just paid up, as dumping a couple of nuclear weapons on foreign soil had rather put them on the back foot!
