Since these same people have been there for sometime, have the AEC found any signs of radiation sickness and if they de, will they be compensated? The people who were not exposed to the fallout in 195-4 and are nowliving cn Rongelap and Utirik inay have gotten little bit of radioactivity but only a very, very small amount. They have not been hurt by re:cation so there is no need to compensate them. Whydoesn’t the AEC remove the radiation from the soil and plants? It is impossible to do so and sincethe radiation is so small, there is no reason to dothis. Whydidn’t the U.S, explain to the people the dangers ofthe fallout before the test? The people were not warned of the dangers ofthe fallout because the likelihood that fallout would occur outside the restricted area was considered too remote to justify warning the people. The occurrenceof fallout in an unrestricted area after the Bravo Test wasthefirst accidental event of this kind to happenafter a nuclear weapon test. oe, Ye - “oOo - F> ¢ JY ee 7 \ (- cr © I Co LD <> Rongelap Utirik | Bamb Explosion
