Since these same peopte have been there for some time, have the AEC found anv

signs uf radiation sickness and if thes do. will chev he compensated?
The people who were not expuscato the fallout in 193-4 und are nowliving en
Rongelap ana Utrik way have gotten a little bit of radioactivity but only a vers,
very small amount. They have not becn urt by rm - ation so there is no need to
compensate them.
Whydoesn't the AEC remove the radiation fromthe soil and plants?

It is impossible to do so and since the radiation is so small, there 1s no reason to
do this.

Whydicn’t ihe U.S. explain to the people the dangersofthe fallout befcre the test?
The people were not worned of the dangers of the fallout because thelikelihood
that fallout would occur outside the restricted area was considered too remote ‘to
jusufy warning the peuyre. The occurrence of fallout in an unrestricted area afer
the Bravo Test was the fist accidental event of this kind to happen after a nuclear
weapon test,
