French Polynesia's social security agency, the CPS, has again called on France to cover the costs of caring for the victims of the French nuclear weapons tests.
The demand by the CPS coincides with a push to change the compensation law - this time by a French Polynesian advisory body, the Economic, Social, Environmental and Cultural Council.
The French military carried out more than 40 atmospheric nuclear tests, with fallout affecting islands well beyond the Moruroa test site.
Walter Zweifel has been following the debate and Don Wiseman asked him what the specific demands are.
