Nhat kind ofradiation caused thyroid sickness and leukemia?
Thyroid sickness in the Rongelap people exposed to fallout was caused by damage
o the thyroid gland from a “thyroid radiation poison.” It took a long time for the
ickness to show. A few unexposed Rongelap people as well as some people in the

apan andit is possible that
leukemia may have been due to radiation. Time
