This report presents an historical account of the
experiences of the Brookhaven Medical Team in the
examination and treatment of the Marshallese people
following their accidental exposure to radioactive
fallout in 1954. This is the first time that a
population has been heavily exposed to radioactive
fallout, and even though this was a tragic mishap, the
medical findings have provided valuable information for
other accidents involving fallout such as the recent
reactor accident at Chernobyl. Noteworthy has been the
unexpected importance of radioactive iodine in the
fallout in producing thyroid abnormalities.
