Hey Jess!

You have a really great draft going for this new Wikipedia article. All of the content added seems relevant to the topic of Environmental Impacts of Nuclear Weapons, and they are important contributions to Wikipedia. None of your writing seems to bias one group over another, which can be difficult when talking about issues surrounding war and environmental impacts so great job with that! So far, it seems like all the sections you have created are relatively equal in the information they provide, and are an appropriate size for the section. If possible, I would try to add some more information on the history of nuclear testing as that is important to the understanding of how the impacts came to be. The lay out of your article looks well organized so far, and I like that you made the Treaties, Conferences, and Agreements section into a list rather than a long paragraph as it could lose a reader's interest if it was all clumped together. The sources you have used all appear to be up to date, working, and relevant to the topic which is good for backing up your claims and making a well informed article. I would suggest adding some more peer reviewed articles as you continue to write to make your work that much better and informative. I am not sure if it is possible to provide a bit of background on the radioactive isotopes, or link that section to another article on wikipedia explaining some of the chemistry, as I had a bit of a hard time understanding it and believe some background knowledge would help the reader. You could also add links to an article about the Cold War, as you mention that in the History of the Atomic Age section. Looking at the images you contributed to the article, the graph is very informative as it provides some more history on nuclear testing, and the image of the president signing the nuclear test ban treaty is relevant and a good add with what you have written.

Overall, things are looking really great so far and it is well on its way to becoming a full article that can be published to Wikipedia. Of course, I'm sure you know that the lead section still needs to be added, which would be a great spot to provide a small summary of the content below and do an introduction to your article. I am looking forward to reading it when it's all done!
