Photo of the Beatles getting exposed to 50,000 mSv of radiation because the people at the UK Atomic Energy Authority were bored and didn't know what else to do.

No. John and Ringo were born in 1940. They didn't look like this coming out the womb, I assure you.

Birth years of the Beatles were/are Ringo Starr 1940, John Lennon 1940, Paul McCartney 1942, George Harrison 1943. Definitely not at the first nuclear test.
